So we now have 3 files containing the "same" string, 2 of them claim
to be utf-8, but they use a different encoding (2 or 3 bytes). For
all 3 files, when opening the in emacs, buffer-file-coding-system's
value is raw-text-unix.
I wouldn't say the files claim to be something -- it's the `file´
programme that says so, according to some rules in `magic´ files. UTF-8
contents usually cannot be distinguished from other contents -- a byte
is a byte is a byte. Some UTF-8 files contain a marker by which one can
determine, that it's UTF-8. Other markers state that the text is
written right to left with a citation left to right. Could be Eclipse
writes such a marker ...
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.
I think I understood this. But this means that I can change the
file-encoding of a file with emacs, doesn't it?
Yes. I Usually revert buffer from file with new encoding, C-x RET r
<encoding> RET and save the file in that encoding. I'd say it works
reliably!
What I cite in my mails are the strings as emacs shows them to me when
loading one of the files. So the question is, /why/ are they not
UTF-8? Does eclipse do a wrong latin-1 to utf-8 conversion?
I don't know and use Eclipse. Test is with its own documentation -- and
some reliably encoded files!
