I have a problem some time ago. I don’t know the cause:

I can’t insert dates accentuated, for example Saturday (in Spanish it is Sábado). If I do it, I get:

<2024-09-28 s \341.> 

Instead of

<2024-09-28 sá .>

And if I try to save the buffer, the minibuffer is open with “Select coding system” message.

I have no problem writing manually sáb. or sábado in the buffer, I have no coding problems.

If I do M-x describe-coding-system in the buffer, I get this:

Coding system for saving this buffer:

  U -- utf-8-unix (alias: mule-utf-8-unix cp65001-unix)

Default coding system (for new files):

U -- utf-8 (alias: mule-utf-8 cp65001)

Coding system for keyboard input:

  U -- utf-8-unix (alias: mule-utf-8-unix cp65001-unix)

Coding system for terminal output:

U -- utf-8 (alias: mule-utf-8 cp65001)

Coding system for inter-client cut and paste:

U -- utf-16le-dos

Defaults for subprocess I/O:

  decoding: U -- utf-8-dos (alias: mule-utf-8-dos cp65001-dos)

encoding: U -- utf-8-unix (alias: mule-utf-8-unix cp65001-unix)
