Opening "bla.eclipse" with emacs, shows me the string
"�berfall". Changing the file encoding with "C-x <RET> f
iso-latin-1-unix" and saving leads to:
The correct way would have been, once you've opened the file
bla.eclipse and Emacs came up showing `-0:´ as start of the mode-line
(stating ISO Latin-1 or ISO Latin-15 encoding), C-x <RET> r utf-8-unix
<RET>: re-open the file in UTF-8 encoding, to view it in its natural
mood.
When you now save the file in ISO Latin-1 encoding, having applied C-x
<RET> f (set-buffer-file-coding-system), GNU Emacs does the conversion.
Instead of C3 BC it writes only FC. The file size will be reduced by
one byte.
The C-x RET commands *do not* change a buffer's (or a file's) contents,
they just put some new skin on the buffer so that your view on the
buffer's (i.e. file's) contents is adapted in a certain way: you can
see a buffer's (or file's) whatever contents in green, blue, red,
yellow, cyan ... utf-8, Mac-Roman, NeXT, koi-r8, euc-jp-unix ...
encoding/view.
Eclipse might be fooling you. The character `ü´ is encoded in UTF-8 as
C3 BC or, translating the two hex codes into ISO Latin-1 (or -15)
characters, as: à ³. What you cite in your eMail, � or in HTML
�, is *not* UTF-8.
