As far as I can tell in my GNU EMACS, all by buffers relevant to context
here are set to UTF-8. I see the letter U in the first letter of the
modeline --- the GNU EMACS status bar.

When I add an UTF-8 message through the command line in ESHELL, it
doesn't display properly when I say ``fossil timeline''. Check it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%fs add encoding.txt

However, if instead of the command-line, I use a regular GNU EMACS
buffer, it works just fine.

I know. You'll tell me go to a GNU EMACS newsgroup. I'll look for
one. Thank you.

So the issue is that you are getting Naïve rather than Naïve , right ? Try creating a simple shell script which writes its argument to a file ,
do
%yourscript 'Naïve commit.'

and see if the file gets the correct string.

Yes.

It seems to do it correctly.
