When pasting from an article on the web into an org-mode buffer, I start with - "In today’s digital age, we are needing more and more passwords to secure our data and our identity." and its displayed in the buffer as - "In todayâ\200\231s digital age, we are needing more and more passwords to secure our data and our identity." I'm using 'simpleclip' which allows me to use 'super-c simpleclip-copy' as the keybinding. In my .emacs I have - (setq selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) with 'LANG=en_GB.UTF-8' being the first line in my locale settings. How do I get it please that it pastes correctly from the desktop clipboard, and how do I get what is already pasted, and shows the aberrant behaviour, corrected please?
