Hi,
C-h n has this about byte-compilation (for 23.0.x):
During byte-compilation, Emacs 23 uses `utf-8-emacs' to write files.
As a result, byte-compiled files containing non-ASCII characters can't
be read by earlier versions of Emacs. Files compiled by Emacs 20, 21,
or 22 are loaded correctly as emacs-mule (whether or not they contain
multibyte characters). This takes somewhat more time, so it may be
worth recompiling existing .elc files which don't need to be shared
with older Emacsen.
Xavier
