Either your keyboard generates UTF-8 characters.  Then do
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8).

Or use an input method.

It seems you fetched modified files from somewhere?  Hm.  I wonder if
maybe the utf-8.el that comes with Emacs 21.3 is enough?  21.3 is the
most recent stable release; upgrade is recommended.

I have experienced lossage with Mule-UCS in combination with Emacs 21
before.  (I think it was only in Gnus, but I'm not sure.)

Anyhow, the improved UTF support in Emacs 21.3 should help you so
that maybe you don't need Mule-UCS anymore.

You look weird?  Send us a photo!  8-)

Seriously, how about sending a screenshot or a better explanation of
the "weird looking"?
