I've just read that thread. In any Chinese-XXX lang. env.,
if that character is (0x4A4A of GB2312) encoded in UTF-8,
Emacs correctly decodes it into chinese-gb charset. So, my
question is how he got that character in Emacs buffer. One
possibility is that he cut&pasted it from the other
application and that application sent that character encoded
in compound-text while designating JISX0212. In that case,
Emacs surely decodes it into japanese-jisx0212, but that is
a correct behaviour.
(setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND-TEXT))
forces Emacs to ask the other application to send a
selection data in utf-8 if possible. So, this setting will
work for him.
