Another thought is to add support for a local variable 'lang' to specify the language, HTML-style, e.g.: ;; Local Variables: ;; coding: utf-8 ;; lang: ja ;; End: where the "ja" comes from the usual standard list (see Internet BCP 47 and <http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry>). Emacs could use the language to set charset-priority on a per-file basis. This would be friendlier to users than the "eval: (set-charset-priority 'japanese-jisx0208)" approach that I mentioned earlier. But it'd be more implementation work. In the meantime I will propose a stripped-down patch that does not alter TUTORIAL.ja and the other CJK files; this should avoid the charset problems that Mr. Handa mentioned.
