We have switched to a character representation specially designed for
Emacs. Rather than forcing all the widely used scripts artificially
into alignment, like Unicode does, Emacs treats them all equally,
giving each one a place in the space of character codes. Thus,
scripts do not need to fight over characters used in each one of them,
as each has its own variant, and they all are different as far as
Emacs is concerned. For example, there's a Latin-1 c-cedilla
character, and there's a Latin-2 c-cedilla; searching a buffer for the
Latin-1 variant will only find that variant, but not the others. This
design allows us to get rid of a confusing situation in Emacs 23,
whereby a character can simultaneously belong to any number of
charsets.

Emacs now uses an internal encoding, known as @samp{emacs-mule}, which
is peculiar to Emacs and does not map easily into any of the existing
character encodings, including Unicode. This was imperative to
Emacs now uses its own special internal encoding for non-@acronym{ASCII}
characters, known as @samp{emacs-mule}. This was imperative to
support several different variants of the same character, each one
belonging to its own script: @samp{emacs-mule} marks each character
with its script, to better discern them from one another.
