Well, that doesn't really answer my question, sop I'd try to answer
what I think you may be asking.
. Visiting UTF-8 encoded files should "just work".
. If you want to _create_ UTF-8 encoded files, you will need to
request that explicitly using "C-x RET c" before saving a file.
. Visiting UTF-16 encoded files may require "C-x RET c" before
"C-x C-f". (UTF-16 is what is called "Unicode" on Windows, which
was one reason why I asked my question.)
. File names are supported even if they include characters not
supported by the current system codepage.
. Receiving sub-process output encoded in UTF-8 should work with
programs known to output UTF-8, such as Git; in other cases you may
need to use "C-x RET c" or customize your process-coding-system-alist.
. Beware of passing to programs command-line arguments encoded in
UTF-8: that doesn't work.
