I found strange behaviors of Emacs Unicode-2 when displaying the
euro sign. ...
(insert (make-char 'latin-iso8859-15 164))
Weirdly enough, in a non-unicode-2 instance of Emacs
Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Fri, 2007 Nov 16 10:51 UTC
GNU Emacs 23.0.50.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.1)
started with
emacs -q -D
in the *mail* buffer, I was able to evoke a Euro sign using that
expression after inserting it. Also, I could see the Euro symbol when
I evoked that expression in a nonce buffer and `C-u C-x ='
(`what-cursor-position' with an argument) said:
character: € (3876, #o7444, #xf24, U+20AC)
charset: latin-iso8859-15
(Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 9 (ISO/IEC 8859-15):
ISO-IR-203.)
code point: #x24
syntax: w which means: word
category: l:Latin
buffer code: #x8E #xA4
file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1
display: by this font (glyph code)
-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-15 (#xA4)
However, I put that same expression,
(insert (make-char 'latin-iso8859-15 164))
in my .emacs file (which was not evaluated), evaluated the Euro sign
expression only, and saw \244. `C-u C-x =' says
character: ¤ (164, #o244, #xa4)
charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF))
code point: #xA4
syntax: which means: whitespace
buffer code: #xA4
file code: #xA4 (encoded by coding system utf-8)
display: by this font (glyph code)
-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1 (#xA4)
