As Emacs 21 cannot do CJK->UTF-8 unification, Emacs is unable to
convert the chars to UTF-8. There's nothing Gnus can do about this.
In Emacs 22 it works correctly (see `utf-translate-cjk-mode' in the
NEWS file):
| also known as “The Wizard of Woz,” or even “the other Steve” — made
(In Emacs 21 I get literal "\u2014" and "\u201c" here (6 chars each)
when pasting from Firefox.)
We already discussed similar problems in the German Gnus[1] and
general newsreader[2] groups when pasting from man pages. It might
occur only with a certain combination of locales and program versions
(X server?). All people with this problems were using Debian. I
couldn't reproduce this problems on SuSE.
This posting will be in utf-8 if `utf-translate-cjk-mode' works
correctly.
Bye, Reiner.
