*** Visiting a file in unibyte mode.
Turning off multibyte character support in the buffer after visiting a file with multibyte code conversion will display the multibyte sequences already in the buffer, byte by byte. This is probably not what you want.

If you want to edit a file of unibyte characters (Latin-1, for example), you can do it by specifying `no-conversion' as the coding system when reading the file. This coding system also turns off multibyte characters in that buffer.

If you turn off multibyte character support entirely, this turns off character conversion as well.
