[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Oh, I'm sorry. I actually sent a reply, not sure why it didn't go through.
If this message gets through, I think it is because I accidentally removed
the debuggs address from the Cc headers, as you seem to have stated on
previous posts.

After pressing any other key (or even unfocusing the terminal window,
another character shows up: `\247`:

I have found similar "ç to Ã" issues on old webpages with bad encoding,
which makes me wonder if this is an issue with emacs understanding which
encoding I'm using.
Try out the following HTML page:
    <meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
    ç
On my machine, opening a HTML file with this code shows:
    ç

I've also noticed something else: I have a LANG environment variable that
has its value set to `en_US.UTF-8`. After I unset it, doing the same thing
(pasting ç onto the terminal while emacs is open) yielded a dash (`-`)
instead of the `Ã` character:

I also experimented with the LC_ALL environment variable, and the result of
pasting the `ç` character onto a `LANG=en_US.UTF8 LC_ALL=en_US emacs -Q
-nw` emacs instance is a `ç` (yay!) but followed by what seems to be a
space character:
