I create a new buffer foo.el, and paste the text from buff-menu.el
(from CVS) into it. When I try to save, I get this message:
These default coding systems were tried to encode text
in the buffer `buff-menu-CVS-2005-06-14.el':
undecided-unix iso-latin-1
However, each of them encountered these problematic characters:
undecided-unix: â â â
iso-latin-1:
The first problematic character is at point in the displayed buffer,
and C-u C-x = will give information about it.
Select one of the following safe coding systems, or edit the buffer:
utf-8 windows-1258 windows-1256 windows-1254 windows-1250 mac-roman
windows-1252 utf-16 utf-16 utf-16 utf-16be utf-16le iso-2022-7bit
Or specify any other coding system
at the risk of losing the problematic characters.
In the minibuffer, it says "Select coding system (default mule-utf-8):"
Point is on this in buff-menu.el: â-Stef
Questions:
Is it normal to have these characters in the file?
Does this file need to be utf-8? Should it be?
What coding system should I use to save this file? I used utf-8.
The first line of the buffer has this - shouldn't it force utf-8
encoding automatically? -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2005-04-16 on LAPTOP
Distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

- buff-menu.el in CVS today has utf-8 characters?,
