I have recently become attached to using utf8 characters in my maxima
code, which works great with sbcl. But both ecl and gcl choke, at
least when fed from the maxima repl. So, I wonder if someone can
explain to me the following behaviour:
Maxima 5.30.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (a.k.a. GCL)
