That is more than I expected to change in emacs-29, but we could do that too if you like.

Since the input is UTF-8 the result, with the patch, will always be either a multibyte string or a unibyte ASCII string. Always making a multibyte string would also do and be marginally faster, but not more correct in any meaningful way.
