    AFAIK, Latin-N unibyte strings and iso-8859-N text encoded in Latin-N
    use the same numerical codes for the same characters, so they are
    indistinguishable.

I think that is true, but if that's what you're doing, you'll
understand it better if you think "unibyte representations of these Emacs
characters" rather than "encoded in a coding system".
