I want when I save any file to save them (by default) with coding system = UTF-8.
So In my init.el I has :
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)

Upon running package-list-packages, I get the following error.
These default coding systems were tried to encode text

Sometimes to speed up of opening an emacs' eshell directly from terminal (in my case from MS DOS prompt), I do emacs -Q -f eshell. But when I try to exit emacs doesn't let it, unless I give some input to the below message in the mini-buffer.

In an ongoing project, we are inserting multibyte text into a
