-characters as @var{string}. It signals an error if @var{string}
-contains a non-@acronym{ASCII} character. If @var{string} is a
-unibyte string, it is returned unchanged. Use this function for

+is returned unchanged. Otherwise, @acronym{ASCII} characters and
+characters in the @code{eight-bit} charset are converted to their
+corresponding byte values. Use this function for @var{string}
