That's not how Emacs works, at least not in my experience. For example,
on current emacs-26:
emacs -Q
M-x set-variable RET unibyte-display-via-language-environment RET t RET
(defun foo ()
(interactive)
(message "cannot \xA2\u00A2")) C-j
M-x foo RET
This displays "\242¢", not "¢¢".
No doubt this isn't documented as well as it should be, but from looking
at the source code get_next_display_element it's clear that
unibyte-display-via-language-environment does not simply display every
raw byte as a Latin-1 character; instead, the code also takes context
into account, and if the context is multibyte then
unibyte-display-via-language-environment is ignored. Since the echo
area's context is text and not binary data, the display of raw bytes in
the echo area should be unaffected by
unibyte-display-via-language-environment.
