It seems to be some change in Emacs itself.  I use C-x 4 a to add a ChangeLog
entry, and in Emacs it looks OK.

The old coding för Djärv prior to the unicode merge is (\E => escape)

  Dj\E,Ad\E(Brv

but now it is

  Dj\E$(Q)Z\E(Brv

Both are displayed correctly in Emacs from HEAD, but not in Emacs 22 (or
earlier).  I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional change.
