That is precisely so: Emacs 21.x treats Latin-N character sets as
disjoint, so they are represented by different codes internally.
The CVS version introduces features (unification on en- and decoding)
that make this distinction less visible, and work is under way on a
Unicode-based Emacs where the distinction will go away entirely.
