I think the result depends on who you type the above: if there are two characters, a followed by ́, then the file really has 2 characters, and they are only shown as one on display. Try "C-u C-x =" to see what you have in the buffer. > Perhaps saying "(2 bytes)" will be more helpful? I really doubt that: Emacs users tend to think in terms of characters than in terms of bytes.
