But that's not really "decoding", is it? By "decoding" we usually
mean conversion _to_ the Emacs internal representation, whereas in
your example, we convert _from_ the internal representation to some
other.
To avoid confusion, I suggest to talk about "conversion" of Emacs
characters to code points of a charset. Do you agree?
