Emacs-21.4's handling of UTF-8 takes care of significantly more than just
latin-1. What Reiner was saying is that you probably only really care about
the latin-1 chars (which will assuredly be displayed properly) and don't
mind if Emacs doesn't properly display some of the other characters, as long
as it does preserve them across load&save (it will display them as an empty
box if your unicode font doesn't have them).
