When a unibyte string is inserted into a multibyte buffer, Emacs
automatically converts 8-bit characters into iso8859-1 characters.  To
insert literally 8-bit characters, you have to use some tricks like

 (insert (string-as-multibyte "aksje-\345r"))

XEmacs doesn't have string-as-multibyte, so we'd better define a
compatible function mm-string-as-multibyte.  Though you may see 
aksje-år in XEmacs buffer if you insert the string, it is OK. XEmacs
people claim that XEmacs doesn't suffer the \201 problem.
