If the buffer's file uses

displays @samp{(Unix)} instead of the colon for files that use newline
as the line separator.
That's entirely my point: the description of multibyte character
support confusingly refers to a colon that some users won't ever see.
It would be better to simply refer to the first (or leftmost,
whatever) chars of the mode line, instead of them being "before the
colon".
