To previous input method or to no input method at all?
If the former "C-u C-\ INPUT-METHOD RET" will switch INPUT-METHOD on.
If the latter, just C-\ will switch off the currently active input
method.

The buffer encoding has nothing to do with input method. An input
method is a way to generate characters that are absent from your
keyboard, by typing combinations of existing characters. Buffer
encoding is how the text will be encoded when written to a disk file
or sent to another process.
