It's true, you cannot encode the bytes with dec. values above 127 in
utf-8 (see `man utf-8', unicode.org, whatever).
Seems your filenames are not utf-8 encoded.
Here it works, because on current Linux distros (and MAC OS??) filenames
are utf-8 encoded:
C-u C-c C-f
nä TAB RET
[[file:nächtes-nötiges.org][Umlaute in Dateinamen]]
Maybe, if the file is from an old system, rename it (twice, to give it
the original name) and try again. Would that work?
There's an interesting discussion going on on emacs-devel, that might be
related (but it's not about filenames). You may read the entire thread
here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-11/msg00661.html
The fazit so far, as I understood it, is, that Emasc 23 distinguishes
single and multibyte strings. Better not use array functions to handle
strings (which are multibyte internaly) in Emacs 23.
The OP did
(setq nl "\n")
(aset nl 0 ?ñ
(insert nl)
which sets the first _byte_ of an array to 241, which in turn has no
valid representation on screen as character in Unicode (see `man urf-8'
and unicode.org). Thus Emacs insert \361 - for some reason :)
