Cc:

seeing the similar:

when opening a file containing non-ascii chars, german
umlauts for example, in some case these aren't shown
as glyphs but as numbers.

This is a different problem entirely, please file a separate bug
report

done with bug#6941

(although my guess is that this is some cockpit error on your
part,

a theoretically possible source might be code from some auto-saved-buffer-file mangled in (?), even if not noticed that.


 so perhaps discussing this on emacs-devel is a better way of
resolving it).

See screenshot attached how the following code looks
like:

(define-abbrev-table
    'global-abbrev-table
    '(("Infinity" "∞" nil 0)
      ("alpha" "α" nil 2)
      ("beta" "β" nil 1)
      ("gamma" "γ" nil 1)
      ("theta" "θ" nil 0)))

The screenshot shows "t" at the mode-line's left edge, which means
Emacs decoded the file's contents with raw-text coding-system.
raw-text interprets all non-ASCII characters as raw bytes, and
displays them as such, with octal escapes.

The most probable reason for Emacs not to decode the file correctly
(as UTF-8) is that the file includes some bytes that are invalid UTF-8
sequences.  What happens if you force UTF-8 with "C-x RET c" before
visiting the file with "C-x C-f"?


All fine at the first glance than.

However, re-opening the newly saved buffer repeats the wrong display.

Also when saving, it always prompts for coding-system, suggests raw-text first.

Setting buffer-file-coding-system explicitly to utf-8-unix, followed by a save, doesn't change the wrong display after new opening.

Difference so for from earlier, it accepts a save at all.
