Unicode characters messed up in recent Emacs 24.4 versions?

Unicode characters messed up in recent Emacs 24.4 versions?

I'm using Gnus as shipped with Emacs (fresh off of the source repository).

Am I the only one having problems with non-ASCII characters in HTML mail
(mostly posted from Outlook) buffers? Instead of shopwing the correct
chinese (or whatever) characters they all come out as sequences of control
characters (^A^B^D^E etc...)

This does not necessarily have anything to do with Gnus, or even Emacs. I'm
constantly recompiling Emacs and I'm using Arch Linux so I'm also
constantly updating the operating system. Any suggestions as to where I
should start looking would be appreciated.

Regards,
Elias

I've found the same problem too, but no solution. I come across it when
pasting text from a web posting into emacs.

However, I have a script called 'ebuild' on my blog site which you might find
useful for updating and rebuilding emacs. Its all automatic until it wants to
install in '/usr/local/bin' when it just wants your password to install it.

I figured it out. The problem actually had nothing to with Emacs. It seems
as though w3m on Arch Linux is broken. Recompiling it myself fixed it.
