Yours, ChristianHi Christian, Your example worked for me without problem, however I had to replace the characters from your original email with valid (at least on my system) utf8 alternatives. See the attached org-mode file and resulting plot.
Hi, Eric,Thanks for taking a look. Sorry about messing up the special characters in the email, I should have attached a proper text file. But I did use valid UTF8 in Org: the same as in your example, code points #xC5 and #xB0.
Evaluating your example on my Mac gives the same result as before: Special characters are replaced with two dots. Tangling it and running the tangled file works fine.
It's not really a problem, I can work around it with \u.... escapes, which may be the safest approach anyway. But it's curious.
Since it works for you, it probably isn't Babel's fault. Maybe something Mac-specific in the communication between Emacs and the shell. Maybe there's a setting I can change, but all the variables I've been able to think of already default to utf-8-unix.
Yours, Christian
