I see. No problem to revert the patch, it isn't important.
However, quoting the last reference above
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
When a file is in some legacy encoding such as iso-2022-7bit, Emacs
attached charset properties to proper ranges of text, which works as a
hint for selecting a proper font especially for CJK characters.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'm wondering why it is possible to attach charset properties for
iso-2022-7bit, but not for utf-8. Note, that I don't know too much about
this topic.
Best regards, Michael.
