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

To yourself? Read the documentation and understand that you are using  
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.
