Right.  When a file is in some legacy encoding such as
iso-2022-7bit, Emacs attached charset properties to proper
ranges of text, which works as a hint for selecting a proper
font especially for CJK characters.  The same can be said
for etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.ja.  This file should be shown in
a proper Japanese font even for a user not in Japanese
lang. env.
