OK, you're right: it really works better now, I had made some
mistake! I wonder whether I picked up the characters with C-s C-w ...
As you wrote, this won't work.
It didn't work, but should work now. I attached 3 files
(temp1,2,7 encoded in iso-8859-1,2,7 respectively).
C-x C-f temp1 RET ESC < C-n C-s C-w C-x C-f temp2 C-s C-s
should find " á", and
C-x C-f temp1 RET ESC < C-n C-n C-s C-w C-x C-f temp7 C-s C-s
should find " °".
Anyway, what also does not work is: C-s C-q <a non-ASCII, i.e.
greater 177 octal code>. For those with really small keyboards this
is the (almost?) only chance to find some of the x times 64 K
characters in Unicode ...
This should work now too. For instance, " " and "á" are
0255 and 0341 in iso-8859-1 charset. So, if your primary
charset is iso-8859-1, C-q 255 C-q 341 RET should input
" á". And,
C-x C-f temp2 ESC < C-s C-q 255 C-q 341 RET
should find " á" even if the characters in that buffer is
from iso-8859-2.
