 @defun string-to-unibyte string
 This function returns a unibyte string containing the same sequence of
-characters as @var{string}.  It signals an error if @var{string}
-contains a non-@acronym{ASCII} character.  If @var{string} is a
-unibyte string, it is returned unchanged.  Use this function for
-@var{string} arguments that contain only @acronym{ASCII} and eight-bit
-characters.

+characters in the @code{eight-bit} charset are converted to their
