Rodrigo,

so, as for MULE, it was a suggestion - I never used it for myself (BTW
what is its function in an UTF8 environment?). After checking, I think
that with high probability it is not the issue:

From /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/international/mule-conf.el:
  ;; The encoding used internally.  This encoding is meant to be able to save
  ;; any multibyte buffer without losing information.  It can change between
  ;; Emacs releases, tho, so should only be used for internal files.
  (define-coding-system-alias 'emacs-internal 'utf-8-emacs-unix)


As for the  whole issue: certainly emacs 23 unicode  did not work with
the released revision.   Since I've got it working  last summer, I did
not  check the CVS  trunk. I  am not  sure who  is able  to get  out a
release where  it is all fixed and  checked.  For the time  being I am
sticking to the source code combination  which is working for me - see
my previous posting.

Eric:

I added this to  the wiki.
