+** UTF-16 coding systems are available, encoding the same characters
+as mule-utf-8.  Coding system `utf-16-le-dos' is useful as the value
+of `selection-coding-system' in MS Windows, allowing you to paste
+multilingual text from the clipboard.  Set it interactively with
+C-x RET x or in .emacs with `(set-selection-coding-system utf-16-le-dos)'.
+
+** There is a new language environment for UTF-8 (set up automatically
+in UTF-8 locales).
+
+** Translation tables are available between equivalent characters in
+different Emacs charsets -- for instance `e with acute' coming from the
+Latin-1 and Latin-2 charsets.  User options `unify-8859-on-encoding-mode'
+and `unify-8859-on-decoding-mode' respectively turn on translation
+between ISO 8859 character sets (`unification') on encoding
+(e.g. writing a file) and decoding (e.g. reading a file).  Note that
+`unify-8859-on-encoding-mode' is useful and safe, but
+`unify-8859-on-decoding-mode' can cause text to change when you read
+it and write it out again without edits, so it is not generally advisable.

 ** The default value of selection-coding-system is now
 compound-text-with-extensions.

-Some versions of X, notably XFree86, use Extended Segments to encode
-in X selections characters that belong to character sets which are not
-part of the list of approved standard encodings defined by the ICCCM
-spec. Examples of such non-standard encodings include ISO 8859-14, ISO
