-You cannot always match all non-@acronym{ASCII} characters with the regular
-expression @code{"[\200-\377]"}. This works when searching a unibyte
-buffer or string (@pxref{Text Representations}), but not in a multibyte
-buffer or string, because many non-@acronym{ASCII} characters have codes
-above octal 0377. However, the regular expression @code{"[^\000-\177]"}
-does match all non-@acronym{ASCII} characters (see below regarding @samp{^}),
-in both multibyte and unibyte representations, because only the
-@acronym{ASCII} characters are excluded.
