I found, for myself a few years ago, that the order of external format specifications is significant. So my ordering is as follows in my .LISPWORKS file: #+:LISPWORKS (progn (pushnew :LATIN-1 system:*specific-valid-file-encodings*) (pushnew :utf-8 system:*specific-valid-file-encodings*) (lw:set-default-character-element-type 'cl:character)) > On Dec 2, 2025, at 08:13, Martin Simmons <[email protected]> wrote: > > Does the editor's modeline still start with LATIN-1 after closing and opening > the file? > > The attached file containing the characters #\U+636E and #\U+646F works for > me, with the modeline saying UTF-8. > > -- > Martin Simmons > LispWorks Ltd > http://www.lispworks.com/ > > > >>>>>> On Tue, 2 Dec 2025 13:40:19 +0100, Marco Antoniotti said: >> >> Hi >> >> I am fooling around and I did save it with Encoding: UTF-8 >> >> No luck. >> >> MA >> >> >> On Tue, Dec 2, 2025 at 1:39 PM Martin Simmons <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> It should be UTF-8, not UNICODE (assuming that is how you saved it). >>> >>> -- >>> Martin Simmons >>> LispWorks Ltd >>> http://www.lispworks.com/ >>> >>> >>> >>>>>>>> On Tue, 2 Dec 2025 11:39:38 +0100, Marco Antoniotti (as marco dot >>> antoniotti at unimib dot it) said: >>>> >>>> Thanks. >>>> >>>> I ended up RTFM 😏 >>>> >>>> Now a different problem. >>>> >>>> I can now save the data in a file, but when I read it back, even adding >>> the >>>> "-*- Encoding: UNICODE -*- header, the characters are not displayed >>>> correctly: read, their glyphs (*) are not used for display. >>>> >>>> MA >>>> >>>> (*) Pardon the use of incorrect terminology. >>>> >>>> >>>> On Tue, Dec 2, 2025 at 8:59 AM joswig <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>>> set external format >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Am 02.12.2025 um 08:34 schrieb Marco Antoniotti (as marco dot >>> antoniotti >>>>> at unimib dot it) <[email protected]>: >>>>> >>>>> Hi >>>>> >>>>> asking is always faster and easier than RTFM. >>>>> >>>>> I just pasted some code containing UTF-8 characters in a buffer (this >>> is >>>>> LWM).
