Emacs: Declare File Encoding
You can declare a file to be a specific encoding. [see Unicode Basics: Character Set, Encoding, UTF-8, Codepoint]
put this in the first line of the file:
-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
The line can start with a comment character of your language, such as
#
,
//
This magic line is also adopted by Ruby, Python.
;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
(info "(emacs) File Variables")
in emacs lisp packages, the first line is also used for declaring the package. but you can add the encoding line after it.
;;; xah-fly-keys.el --- ergonomic modal keybinding minor mode. -*- coding: utf-8; lexical-binding: t; -*-
