Emacs does not really have a variable @code{coding}; instead of
setting a variable, this uses the specified coding system for the
file. For example, @samp{-*-mode: C; coding: latin-1;-*-} specifies
file. For example, @w{@samp{-*-mode: C; coding: latin-1; -*-}} specifies
use of the Latin-1 coding system, as well as C mode. When you specify

When Emacs runs on MS-Windows versions that are descendants of the
NT family (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and all the later
versions), the value of @code{file-name-coding-system} is largely
ignored, as Emacs by default uses APIs that allow passing Unicode file
names directly. By contrast, on Windows 9X, file names are encoded
using @code{file-name-coding-system}, which should be set to the

Reordering of bidirectional text into the @dfn{visual} order happens
at display time. As a result, character positions no longer increase
monotonically with their positions on display. Emacs implements the
Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UBA) described in the Unicode
Standard Annex #9, for reordering of bidirectional text for display.

It deviates from the UBA only in how continuation lines are displayed
when text direction is opposite to the base paragraph direction,
