I don't follow.  Not that it matters.

My point was simply if you stay 100% within multibyte, it all works, and if
you stay 100% in unibyte it all works, and it's only when you mix them two
that things don't work.  So the problem is neither with unibyte nor with
multibyte but with their interaction: the problem takes its root in the
conflation of the concept of byte and the concept of char.
