And Emacs does just that.  Throw out whatever customization of locales
and whatsoever you have in your .emacs, or start with an empty .emacs,
and it should work.

Well, throwing away all this "valuable" customization leads in Terminal to dired-buffers with 'uuu' encoding -- and short and precise file names with real umlauts! But in shell they're gone ... a bunch of control codes? (I am using tcsh and see a\314?o\314?u\314?\303?U\314?O\314?A\314?\342?\254 instead of äöü?ÜÖÄÛ, shell has only 'uu-')

The X11 client is even worse: copy and paste in this same Emacs does not work (a simple ä is converted to a whole book volume of glyphs that are hard to describe), dired-mode uses a simple 'u' (mode-line goes '-u:%%...') and displays 'a<box>o<box>u...Û', and shell uses no mode '--:**...' as in Terminal and shows the name as in Terminal.

In xterm shell has '-uu-:**..' and shows the same as in Terminal. Again dired works fine!

So it seems I have to wait for GNU Emacs 25 -- if I'm still alive!

Es ist, glaub' ich, nichts so heiß, wie's gerne scheinen möchte.
