How do I get Emacs to display Smartquotes, the Euro symbol and other Microsoft additions to the ISO-8859 character sets?
There are two ways to do this: The “correct” way, using Emacs’s built-in multilingual support, and the “easy” way, bypassing the multilingual support.

After loading ms-latn-ex, you need to explicitly tell Emacs to use `latin-extra’ via the set-buffer-file-coding-system, or set-default-coding-systems functions.
