Sorry, I don't know.  If you don't know either, it probably means
there's a missing feature, in which case we should implement
something to make it possible.

Well, that's just the crux of the difference between using unification
and not using it, isn't it?  If Latin-n characters aren't unified,
they do look different, which could be quite annoying, depending on
how your fonts are set up.

It gets even worse if you don't notice the difference and copy parts
of text into another buffer, which can cause Emacs to ask for a
suitable encoding, with choices that many people won't like...
