Re: [h-e-w] unicode path displays wrong in minibuffer

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I am also using a Swedish keyboard. I tried to reproduce the problem but 
I can't.

I do not know this areas of Emacs, so I have no idea of what is going 
on. I wonder however if that has something to do with the representation 
used for "ä" (swedish a with two dots above). In dired I get the 
following output for the "ä" when I use "C-u C-x =" or 
(what-cursor-position t):

  character: ä (2276, #o4344, #x8e4, U+00E4)
    charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1
                          (ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100.)
  code point: #x64
     syntax: w  which means: word
   category: l:Latin
  buffer code: #x81 #xE4
  file code: #xE4 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-dos)
    display: by this font (glyph code)
     -outline-Courier
     New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1 (#xE4)

I do not know if this is useful information though, but I am sure Eli 
knows more about this.
