I'm not sure what you want an example of.  That most people try to
transmit nothing but ASCII?  That they may end up with multibyte ASCII
strings without having "meaning" to (because it should make no
difference)?

The first thing is trivially true, and the second I think is also pretty
much self-evident:

(multibyte-string-p (buffer-substring (point) (- (point) 10)))
=> t

Of course.
