I can't tell! I think I've seen a few times that the data C-h k gave  
me did not work in global-set-key. From this list I knew this trick  
and use it excessively and successfully.

I think GNU Emacs uses environment variables like LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL,  
LANG to determine in which format data from the keyboard enters. I  
have some UTF-8 set. I have from this setting the problem of  
converting UTF-8 to ISO 8859-15 encoding as used in my .emacs. When  
you use the trick of interactively binding a key and retrieving it  
with repeat-complex-command, you insert for example UTF-8 data from  
the keyboard that is automatically converted into ISO 8859-15 format!

Variables and commands used in this area are set-keyboard-coding- 
system, set-terminal-coding-system, set-clipboard-coding-system, set- 
selection-coding-system, ...
