"C-u C-x =" will spell what is that character, and there's latin1-disp.el that can display quite a few of these characters even on a text terminal. > But even if I look at the 2007 ChangeLog with emacs running as an X > application Ludo's last name shows up with that funny capital A with > a tiled and " after it. I'm fairly sure that's not right. That's _exactly_ the reason to add the `coding' cookie: you were looking at what happens when Emacs tries to interpret a utf-8 encoded text as if it were Latin-1 (or maybe Latin-9) encoded. Now, after the cookie was added, I see Ludo's name displayed correctly.
