The problem with all this is that there are just too many variables -
too many levels of conversions - and it's hard to really understand
what is happening. I get £ signs in shells - and things like ed
running in the xterm. I use -lc flag to pick up the locale so I get a
UTF-8 xterm all the time.
I also set my shell environment to LANG=en_GB.UTF-8.
However I'm getting odd things in emacs (Fink). I've now told emacs
to use utf-8 for everything in the start-up file:
I am unsure that I really should need to do all this.
Now - Emacs running under X is happy - ie I start emacs file and get
a new window. I'm getting £ signs inserted properly.
But with the same xterm and .emacs file I get
B#
inserted for each £ sign typed. Dumping this - and od -c on the
stored file shows that I really am getting a B and # in the file.
Well the 'B' is significant - ASCII B is hex 42 - and is replacing
the hex C - so something somewhere is stripping the top bit I think.
Yes - xev says that the key is returning the correct symbol pair. So
perhaps this is Fink emacs21 playing games. It's all pretty odd.
MacOS native code IS behaving differently from remotely run
applications..

No problem here (after the upgrade to 10.4.9), either with xterm
(ISO-8859-1) or with uxterm (UTF-8). Try "xev". Do you get the
right keysym? Are your locale settings correct ("locale" command)?
Also the copy (command C) produces a small letter c instead of
copying to the clip board.
Perhaps something changed in your keyboard settings ("xev" will tell
you what the X server gets) or in the X11 preferences. Look at them.
