In that case, latin-1 is the coding system for saving that buffer and
utf-8 is for decoding the output from external process.  Of several
coding systems, the one for saving the buffer is the most important for
most cases, so usually only that one is displayed in the mode line.

Emacs assigns several coding systems separately according to their
purposes: saving the buffer, decoding the output from process, encoding
the input to process, decoding the keyboard input from text terminal,
encoding the screen output to text terminal...  You can see three of
them in the form like

EEE:**

when you do "emacs -nw" on text terminal.  See the doc string of the
variable `mode-line-mule-info' for detail.

More detailed information about coding systems associated with the
buffer can be displayed via C-h C or M-x describe-coding-system.
