If you carry out this sequence of keystrokes (written in keyboard-macro
notation):
C-x C-f ;; find-file
/tmp/scrap RET
C-x RET f ;; set-buffer-file-coding-system
utf-8 RET
C-x RET C-\ ;; set-input-method
latin-1-prefix RET
S'ebastian SPC Pop RET
C-x RET C-\ ;; set-input-method
latin-2-prefix RET
Branko SPC ~Cibej RET
you produce a buffer which contains two characters outside the range
of US-ASCII: in Unicode terms, one from Latin-1 Supplement
(U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE) and one from Latin Extended-A
(U+010C LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CARON). UTF-8, the selected
coding system, is capable of representing both of these characters.
But if you now try to save the buffer you will get an error message:
These default coding systems were tried:
utf-8 iso-latin-1
However, none of them safely encodes the target text.
Select one of the following safe coding systems:
x-ctext iso-2022-7bit raw-text emacs-mule no-conversion
[etc. etc. etc]

Emacs unicode support has seen huge changes since this report was made.
If there is still an issue with the current 24.3, I suggest opening a new report
directly with upstream.
