What version of 21.0 are you running? Mine says:

enable-multibyte-characters' is a built-in boolean variable.

Value: t

Documentation:
Emacs Compatible; Unimplemented

Non-nil means the buffer contents are regarded as multi-byte form
of characters, not a binary code.  This affects the display, file I/O,
and behaviors of various editing commands.

Setting this to nil does not do anything.
