So from your description I think indeed this has nothing to do with
Unicode: the code you changed doesn't "assert if Unicode was not
encoded".  It asserts that the text was not encoded.  Unicode or
anything else.  German umlauts are chars that indeed appear in the
Unicode charset, but they also appear in many other charsets (such as
latin1).

"Encoding" turns chars into bytes and the test verifies that there are
only bytes left.
