By commenting or removing this line you did not disable anything but
*enable* GNU Emacs to work correctly, use UTF-8 (with usually more

a multi-byte/Unicode application. Unibyte can easily be accomplished
by using an environment variable like LC_CTYPE with a value that
corresponds to some 7- or 8-bit encoding.
