That is possible.  I tried to cut and paste, but Emacs needed me to
pick an encoding...  I picked UTF-8 which is probably wrong.

I think I would prefer to "use bytes;" and use \xNN escapes to encode
the string in ASCII.  Anything else (except maybe UTF-8) gets too
confusing when combining multiple languages in a single file.
