I'm surprised there's any question about doing coding conversion, if
that's what you mean.

If you have a non-ASCII variable name, you can't sensibly use M-x
getenv with it; if you have your non-ASCII personal name in NAME,
Emacs gets your `user-full-name' as a unibyte string with which random
things will happen; &c.
