In #emacs:

1. <kensanata> maybe you have the wrong mental model of how emacs operates.
2. <kensanata> for example, you cannot "open a new buffer in utf-8"
3. <kensanata> this will lead you astray, since you will make experiments with emacs that result in things failing.
4. <johnsu01> in emacs, the buffer opens YOU in utf-8.
5. <kensanata> lol
