I don't know exactly how emacs decides what coding
Vineet,
Well perhaps some progress, perhaps not.

Logged and back in and went to save my test file. The test
failed. That is, I'm still being prompted for the coding system, and
utf-16-le is offered as the default.
The command $ locales tells me that locales is installed (status is
ii).
However, the $ locale command still only returns LANG=POST

You can install multiple major versions of libc with the Debian package
management system: see libc5. You should not need multiple minor versions.

Colin,
Thanks for the clarification of some of the jargon. I suspected I knew
what the terms meant, but when confronted with a complex situation in
which many terms are shakey, guessing won't do.

I find that when I try to save a file in emacs that contains an
accented character, I get "No default coding system to try."
Apparently this is why (for some reason) it "suggests" using
utf-16-le.
Vineet,
Your message was very helpful, for it suggests the above problem may
be due to no character

I just did some experimenting; hope this helps. I

This is not the default, but Emacs' suggestion based on the
buffer contents.
