When I use aset to change characters in a string to certain non-ascii
characters and insert the result into a buffer, the non-ascii characters
are displayed as raw bytes. This only happens with certain non-ascii
characters, and also only if the string being altered is bound to a
variable and aset takes that variable as argument; if aset operates
directly on the string, those same non-ascii characters are inserted as
the expected characters. To reproduce, start emacs with -Q and evaluate
the following sexp:
(let ((s0 "aous")
(s1 "äöüß")
(s2 "sdfg")
(s3 "ſðđŋ"))
(dolist (s `((,s0 . ,s1) (,s2 . ,s3)))
(dotimes (i 4)
(aset (car s) i (aref (cdr s) i))))
(insert s0 s2 "\n")
(dotimes (i 4)
(insert (aset "aous" i (aref "äöüß" i))))
(dotimes (i 4)
(insert (aset "sdfg" i (aref "ſðđŋ" i)))))
Here's what gets inserted into the buffer (I've represented the raw
bytes by ascii strings to make sure they're readable here):
\344\366\374\337ſðđŋ
äöüßſðđŋ
Is this expected, and if so, what's the explanation, i.e., why does this
happen with some non-ascii characters (e.g. äöüß) but not with others
(e.g ſðđŋ) and why does it happen when aset gets passed a variable
for the string but not when it gets passed the string itself?
