No, utf-8 is implemented as a coding-system, not a charset. This
means that you can decode external data from utf-8 to internal format,
and result in having ASCII, Latin-1, Latin-2, and other characters
inserted in the buffer. Which is quite correct, I'd say.
Understanding the difference between a (Mule) charset and a (Mule)
coding-system is the first step to (Mule) enlightenment.
