local chars displayed as numbers

[Andreas Roehler]

Emacs -q

When opening files written with previous Emacs
versions, several chars - German Umlaute and also `-'
for example - are displayed as numbers, not as symbol.

So `Straße' is shown as `Stra\337e'

C-x =

at point gives the correct result and also shows the
symbol:

->
Char: ß (223, #o337, #xdf, file #xDF) point=395 of 2660 (15%) column=13

C-h v buffer-file-coding-system
->
... Its value is raw-text-unix

If I copy that portion into a new buffer, it's
displayed correctly.


So far
