6. Configuring Mule-UCS for use

if your use of Unicode is at all regular, it is recommended that the Mule-UCS Unicode coding systems be loaded by including

 
(require 'un-define)

in your init file. Otherwise, you must load `un-define' by hand, using load-library. Also, by default XEmacs does not autodetect Unicode. For the most common case, UTF-8, include

 
(set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8))
(set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 utf-8)

in your init file. UTF-8 has a very characteristic signature; false negatives and positives should be very rare.

Autodetecting 16-bit wide-char versions of Unicode is not currently implemented in XEmacs itself. Mule-UCS provides some utilities in the `un-tools' library, but these are of unknown reliability.

That is all that most users of Mule-UCS need to know. The rest of this section documents various advanced features which allow Mule-UCS to be tuned to resolve ambiguities (such as the unification of the Han characters across several languages) more appropriately.

Well, it will once it's written. :-P
