I think the only editors I have that play properly with UTF-8 are Ink, QEmacs and Wily. VILE does a reasonable job, but you can tell that it's really confused about the number of characters (as it counts 1 of my UTF-8 characters as 2 characters sometimes). I'm sure I'm missing some UTF-8/MULE magic in Emacs and it should work, but I've not looked too closely yet. Wily needed some sacrifice before I could input UTF-8 characters, although it displayed them fine. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
