Emacs 21 does support Unicode, but this support is limited unless you augment it with local changes or add-on packages. The main limitation is that the Unicode charsets are disjoint from the other charsets supported by Emacs, and that, with the exception of UTF-8 and Latin-1, all the coding systems supported by Emacs cannot produce Unicode characters. The practical implication of this is that if you want to work with Unicode characters, you are limited to reading and writing UTF-8 and Latin-1 text.
