   Yes, raw-text means the buffer includes raw bytes, not characters.
   Emacs doesn't do anything useful with raw bytes above 127, and in
   particular doesn't interpret them as characters.

Do you have any ideas on what a good coding system would be for this?
utf-8 is obviously wrong.  The char. set is just 8-bit, or should I
write a coding system?
