I'm having problems with this UTF-8 encoded file, as per log below. The file can be displayed by emacs, so MULE is OK (if that's relevant).

What you see here is NOT what I get if I enter the same code directly into the native lisp REPL (outside emacs).

Coding-system & net-coding system are both utf8 - any ideas? I'm new (very) at lisp/emacs/slime, but it seems to be a slime-related issue. Emacs 22.3, CLisp 2.47

You could try `M-x set-language-environment' UTF-8 RET. Only affects new buffers, so it has to be done before creating Slime related buffers.

Log:

;; Swank started at port: 3839. CL-USER> (with-open-file (infile "d:/backup/my documents/personal/ wode.u8.txt") (read infile))

It might be necessary to call with-open-file with an :external-format argument, like

(with-open-file (infile filename :external-format '(:charset "utf-8")) ...)

CLISP might assume a different environment if it runs inside Emacs.
