Here C-u C-x = tells me:
character: ยก (4194209, #o17777641, #x3fffa1)
preferred charset: eight-bit (Raw bytes 128-255)
code point: 0xA1
syntax: w which means: word
buffer code: #xA1
file code: not encodable by coding system utf-8-unix
display: no font available
I don't know you see this "tis620" stuff.

There pretty much shouldn't be any in multibyte buffers.

And presumably for binary files, the buffer will be unibyte.

It means that the lower 128 chars coincide with those of ASCII.
