When i paste text from Opera/Firefox in a buffer
and i want to save this buffer...
i have always to solve this question:
[...]
These default coding systems were tried to encode text
in the buffer `test.txt':
(iso-latin-1-dos (72 . 8592) (143 . 8217) (222 . 8217) (251 . 8217)
(318 . 8217) (355 . 8217) (458 . 8217) (685 . 8217) (755 . 8217)
(960 . 8217) (1021 . 8230))
However, each of them encountered characters it couldn't encode:
iso-latin-1-dos cannot encode these: ...
[...]
How to paste text with apostrophes, accents, etc. for
to save in iso-latin1-dos?
THANX in ADVANCE!

You can't, not without changing those characters to their equivalents,
and deleting those that don't have equivalents. These characters
simply don't exist in the Latin-1 character set.
Why do you want to save them in iso-latin1-dos? What's wrong with
utf-8-dos?

Default coding system (for new files) in my Emacs installation is:

iso-latin-1-dos

In using UTF-8 instead of ISO Latin-1 your saved files on disk will contain the same bytes for the characters in the US-ASCII range and two bytes for the 8-bit characters, for example accented characters. The typographical quotes you copy will be encoded by three bytes each.
It's worth to upgrade to UTF-8. We're not living in some limited country but in a global village.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
