I stumbled upon this when updating a short section about Emacs in the
Gentoo developer manual, where I realised that I cannot say that "-"
and "U" in the modeline indicate ASCII and UTF-8, respectively.
IMHO these two are the most important ones nowadays, so they should be
unique. I don't really care about the rest (maybe "1" is still somewhat
important here in Europe), and tried to change as little as possible in
my suggestion. Namely, only move the ones colliding with "U" out of the
way and otherwise stay with ASCII.
