I'm using (occasionaly) emacs24.3 on windows 8 and I have a problem of encoding when pasting text, non ascii characters being replaced by their \uucode
. My emacs coding default are utf-8
I tried to have a quick look in the apropos help, but nothing matched the keywords i used.
What would be the variable to configure, and the value of system encoding for a windows os?
After some digging, and orientation from lawlist link
I went for
(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-16le-dos)
