I sometimes get prompted to choose a different encoding when I send
email responses to mail that looked pure ASCII. I'm presented with a
buffer that points to a character that doesn't look "foreign" at all.
If I care to investigate, it turns out that character was an em-dash
or fancy quotes, that just looked "normal" due to the font. Am I
confused? No. I just select the encoding, usually the one suggested
by Emacs as the default, and that's it.
IOW, I see no issue here. But since people make a lot of fuss out of
it, feel free to invent all kinds of weird functions to save them from
themselves.
