Much more confused than before.  I get why I'd want to use unicode, but 
the instructions on how to do that were outdated or for a setup other 
than mine and they threw me off real quickly.

I also spent some time looking through the Gentoo Wiki and found that 
there's a grand total of one article about emacs.  Not much help.

I'll keep trying though.
