Latin-2 AFAIK, but I'll let you double check.

Based on my understanding of the code, the only effect of unify-on-encode
is to increase the number of coding-systems that can be used for a given
buffer.  If you don't use one of the added coding-systems, the output
should be exactly the same as before.

Thus if you don't want the feature, you can use C-x RET f to specify
another coding-system.
