And the small emacs winner was...

[D]

I had a look and the winner of the emacs I'll have a look at was...
qemacs! https://github.com/qemacs/qemacs

It had utf-8 support and was small enough to compile right away without
any problems at all.

Best regards,
Daniel

A runner-up might be jmacs, part of the JOE family of editors.

(I use joe itself, have since it was bundled with the MCC Linux boot/root
floppies, c. 1992.)

Great, thank you. I'll have a look at jmacs to compare with qemacs! =)

The one my friends used to use was CE.

Oh, yet another one! Thank you very much for the information!

I'm not an emacs person, but some time ago in OpenBSD I used this one:

https://github.com/troglobit/mg

Probably too limited, but the idea is to have a familiar editor in
places where you can't run the real thing.

Cheers,

Juan

I think it lacks UTF8 support, but perhaps they added it since last time I
checked.

I checked.

From the manual:

"Multi-byte character sets, such as UTF-8, are not supported."

(and the OpenBSD doesn't have support either; sometimes they make
improvements)

So no luck, sorry.

Sigh, that's what I thought. =(
