It's not quite as bad as I'd previously feared; it turns out that Emacs's bizarre character set definitions are within the ISO 2022 private use section (which I hadn't realised there was one of). So they probably aren't technically doing anything wrong, although it's still not very pleasant.
Some more investigation reveals that the Xutf8 functions do actually understand (even if they don't generate) some of Emacs's private character sets. I have a feeling I'm probably going to need to take a conservative/liberal approach: be ready to understand any bizarre crud fed to me by Emacs or XFree86 or anyone else, but only generate standards-compliant niceness myself... |
