I have my Emacs working in a manjaro (based on arch linux) and the languaage set catalan. It is working well, but I had a problem with dired buffers showing weird symbols and solved adding this configuration to early-init file:

(setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t
      inhibit-startup-message t
      default-file-name-coding-system 'utf-8
      prefer-coding-system 'utf-8
      completion-auto-help 'visible
      completion-auto-select 'nil
      eval-expression-print-maximum-character #x10fffff)

but when I use git in the console I get this (using vim as editor):

    ~/.emacs.vanilla.d    master +1  git status                                                              ✔ 
En la branca master
Canvis a cometre:
  (useu «git restore --staged <fitxer>...» per a fer «unstage»)
        modificat:        early-init.el

    ~/.emacs.vanilla.d    master +1  git commit                                                              ✔ 
S'està avortant la comissió a causa d'un missatge de comissió buit.

inside vim:

# Introduïu el missatge de comissió dels vostres canvis.
# S'ignoraran les línies que comencin amb «#». Un missatge de
# comissió buit avorta la comissió.
#
# En la branca master
# Canvis a cometre:
#       modificat:        early-init.el
#
~
    ...
~

"/home/toni/.emacs.vanilla.d/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG" 9 lines, 243 characters

if I use emacs as editor or I write this text in emacs or opn a file containing this letters it works well "ï"

but when I use magit I get this:

emacs commit buffer with magit

how can I solve this?

As comented by @db48x, the correct anwer for this is add to my early-init.el file this setting:

(set-language-environment 'utf-8)

This is also the suggestion in doom emacs configuration: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/7a7503045850ea83f205de6e71e6d886187f4a22/lisp/doom-start.el#L131

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Language-Environments.html

This also allows you to remove all the other forced encodings to UTF-8 and should be the correct configuration. If you need to configure all

so please use this setting in your emacs custom configuration

Revert buffer with coding system

    Please replace all of that with just `(set-language-environment 'utf-8)`. Telling people to set six different settings makes it all look a lot more complex than it really is; even worse it leaves out some settings that could get out of sync and confuse people even more. Even then, since UTF-8 has been the default in Emacs for ages you shouldn’t have to change anything. I'd be willing to bet that if you ran `emacs -Q` then magit would work perfectly. – db48x Aug 22 '23 at 11:26
  • Thanks for this update, I will test it and change – anquegi Aug 22 '23 at 12:10
