i am pasting from firefox or gedit. i am not sure about gedit, but the page in firefox is utf-8 encoded.
the emacs buffer is using an utf-8 coding system as well: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8) UTF-8 encoding for Emacs-supported Unicode characters. -- pasting umlauts into emacs will create escaped characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
