-Emacs 21 has built-in Unicode support, and (fortunately) it supports -UTF-8 far better than UTF-16 and other variants. Some extensions to this -functionality are available in the package app-emacs/mule-ucs, although -this is not necessary (and I would not recommend it unless absolutely -necessary, as the potential for unexpected bugs or quirky behaviour is -increased). The best solution is using Emacs 22 or higher as encoding -support has been greatly improved. +GNU Emacs has built-in Unicode support, and since version 23 it uses +UTF-8 as its internal encoding. It is recommended to start Emacs from +within a UTF-8 locale which will control the default coding system.

-In versions of Emacs below 21.3, and a non-UTF-8 locale is used when -opening a UTF-8 file, auto-detection of the character set is effectively -disabled and characters will be garbled. The UTF-8 character set can be -preferred with M-x prefer-coding-system and entering utf-8 when -prompted. Otherwise, it is necessary to tell Emacs that a UTF-8 file is -being opened by prefixing the C-x C-f or C-x C-v command with -C-x C-m c utf-8 RET. As a diagnostic measure, the coding system currently -in use can be determined with C-h C <RET>. +Emacs will normally autodetect the coding system for given text. +In rare cases it may be necessary to tell Emacs that a UTF-8 file is +being opened by prefixing the C-x C-f or C-x C-v command +with C-x C-m c utf-8 RET.
