Heh, now that I got into cleaning things up, I've also been actually fixing things that have long irritated me, but the code was just too messy for me, and my level of care wasn't high enough to overcome. I fixed the "outputs binary data in the 128-159 range to the terminal" yesterday (which would quite possibly corrupt terminal state if trying to edit binary files), and today I added a "utf-8" mode. The utf-8 mode is purely about the _terminal_ being in UTF-8. The actual editor is still very much byte-char based, but now it understands 8-bit input that comes in UTF8-encoded, and can output things in UTF-8 format. (Since UTF-8 is basically always used with Unicode, and the 8-bit subset of Unicode is iso-8859-1 aka Latin1, this is probably _less_ international than the non-UTF8, but hey, what can I say? If you want more, you'd need to teach uemacs about actual UTF8 contents). The new "emacs.rc" will enable utf-8 mode automatically if $LANG contains the substring "UTF-8", since that _usually_ means that the terminal is in utf-8 mode. If it's wrong, you can add or delete the mode by hand (just like any global mode: Meta-X to add, Meta-Ctrl-X to delete). Basically, it means that you don't have to switch the whole terminal into latin1 just to use uemacs.
