I imagine it'd be something like
emacs -Q
M-: (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) RET
M-: (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) RET
M-: (load-library "man) RET
which will blow up while trying to read the "man" library. There's
something both the man.el and man.elc versions that is *not* utf-8
encoded, probably just latin1.
