Thanks, this definitely helps. Unfortunately, you worked from a
non-current version of nonascii.texi; I already modified the first
section heavily. Please take a look when you can: I intend to
downplay the unibyte stuff heavily, while the previous version gave
unibyte and multibyte almost equal coverage.
In any case, I will certainly use what you wrote. Thanks!

So I guess you agree that NEWS is not entirely correct saying that we
use UTF-8 internally: UTF-8 uses only 1 to 4 bytes, not 1 to 5.
Should I fix NEWS in this regard, saying that the internal
representation is based on UTF-8, but extends it to handle additional
characters?
