[Stefan Monnier]

branch: master
commit 0ee2e853abfe2c6ed1f4fd105c0a52fd93b271fb
Author: Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>
Commit: Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>

    * lisp/descr-text.el (describe-char): Avoid string-*-multibyte
    
    Avoid string-to-multibyte and string-as-unibyte.
    Don't make *Help* unibyte just because the char was in a unibyte buffer.
