Thank you for this information.

I produced 0x80-0xff into a file and let Emacs read it as Windows
1252.

Q1) According to the page above, 0x8f is undefined, and 0x9e is
    defined as LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON.

    But Emacs 21.3.50 treated 0x8f as LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON
    and 0x9e as undefined.

    Is this a bug?

I save the buffer as ctext. The result file is attached below. All
characters in Windows 1252 can be encoded with ctext. :-)

Q2) However the encoding is different from the one above. Is this
    encoding correct?

Note that I verified that Emacs can read the ctext file correctly.
