thank you very much for your very fast answer. I hope that will help me
fix my problem. Can you please help me understand what you say by
answering these questions? Thanks.

- what will happen to my multibyte characters (such as ⇒) that I'm using
  for months and that worked well with Emacs 24?

- where is the unibyte conversion requirement discussed in the url
  library documentation?

- where is the behavior change discussed in the Emacs' changelog?

Thank you again.
