The problem seems to be solved! But it was tricky. Here are the necessary steps that solved the problem: 1) setting gnome-terminal to use utf-8 AND 2) customizing emacs to produce an entry in .emacs like this: '(keyboard-coding-system (quote utf-8) nil nil "nil before, now utf-8.")) AND 3) unfortunately, there was nothing to customize for terminal-coding-system, therefore I had lots of trouble to find the correct entry to add to .emacs Well, I found that this works: (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (thanks to Johan Bockgård, who mentioned this in a post some time ago) Now everything displays correctly. And if my own characters arrive o.k. at the other side, I am happy - well, for now, at least. :) Is this an euro sign? ¤ Are these the Swedish special characters? å ä ö The German Umlaute? ä ö ü The German "sharp S"? ß The Icelandic th-sounds (thorn and eth)? þ ð The French Accents? é è ê and French cédille? ç The Spanish tilde? ñ An apostrophe? it's an apostrophe If everything looks all right, please tell me, but otherwise, too.
