Here you are saying what I was saying: that these are just raw 8-bit
bytes.

I don't mind saying that displaying such a buffer or string or
movement by characters _interprets_ each byte as a single character.
But interpretation and essence are two different things, and the
manual does not make a point of telling that what it describes is the
Emacs interpretation of such buffers, not what is actually held there.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to rephrase that text to make this
distinction more clear.
