To reproduce, open a file, type in "á" and save the file.  Emacs will
now say (if you're a utf-8 kind of person)

Wrote ‘/tmp/a’ (2 characters)

which is wrong, since there's just one character in the buffer.  Perhaps
saying "(2 bytes)" will be more helpful?

(I'd rather Emacs default to not saying anything about the length of the
file saved at all by default, since it's just noise to me (and I'll
assume to most people).)

No, it was an á, but the problem was instead that I apparently had
fumbled and added a newline before saving?  Hm.  Sorry for the noise;
closing.
