buffer-charset.el lists charsets used in a buffer and can highlight characters from a particular charset. Get it from the emacs-devel post : http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2002-07/bingzGAekbu7M.bin (rename to buffer-charset.el after downloading). The message is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2002-07/msg00672.html Listing charsets used is good for finding out what you've cut and pasted, especially when emacs is arguing with you about a "safe coding system". It's also good to see if there actually are any characters from a coding cookie, or if it's in fact just ASCII. ---- CategoryInternationalization
