UTF-8 data garbled

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

$ emacs -q --no-site-file
C-x RET c utf-8 RET C-x C-f test-utf-8.txt RET

The first line contains escape sequences.  Is this intended behaviour?
I would have though that the proper unicode characters would have been
displayed, or at least an empty block would have if the fontset
doesn't have the character.

See

for more information.
