Why didn't you simply use encode-coding-string? It _is_ a built-in
primitive.
(IMHO, one should stay away of the multibyte <-> unibyte conversion
functions such as multibyte-char-to-unibyte, since the decisions they
make about how to encode/decode characters are very complex and hard
to explain and remember. By contrast, explicit encoding functions let
you specify the encoding, so you are the boss ;-)
