Copying from the endash above and yanked into the urf8 buffer, I get the
same string of garbage which appears when I yank the endash into my *.el
file. It looks like this:
^[%GX\200\223^[%@
except that the fourth character-- represented above by the X-- is
character: â (04342, 2274, 0x8e2)
charset: latin-iso8859-1
(Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100)
code point: 98
syntax: word
category: l:Latin
buffer code: 0x81 0xE2
file code: 0xC3 0xA2 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
font: -ETL-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-ISO8859-1
when it should be the Greek lowercase beta... as previously discussed.
