As a public service to all Emacs inflictees, I hereby offer my .vimrc
services to anyone who might convert.
Tell me what your ~/.emacs used to do for you, and I'll give you equivalent
or better solutions, guaranteed.
I'm serious, too. Switching from emacs to vim was a thoroughly
unregrettable experience for me, and I'd like to spread the love.
And yes, it has some fun UTF-8 support. Be sure to grok both <Ctrl-v>u0123
style input as well as ^K:u style digraphs (See :help i_CTRL-V_digit and
:help digraph)

P.S.: if any emacs users are offended, please respond by solving the O.P.'s
problem - I'd love to know that emacs isn't utf-8 dumb. (Because I love
UTF-8)
