I'm looking for a recommendation for a programming editor. I usually use 
emacs. But now i need an editor that can handle Japanese characters and 
save the resulting file using utf-8 encoding. Emacs handles Japanese 
just fine. And emacs handles saving in utf-8, with the exception that 
it can't handle the subset of utf-8 that is needed by Asian languages. 
If a file has Japanese characters in it, emacs won't save as utf-8 and 
insists on another encoding (such as iso-2022-jp or euc-jp). Any 
suggestions for another editor that i should look at?
