This is not (primarily) about Emacs. People may have used string literals to denote byte strings in the past, and they may even have gone beyond ASCII for that. They need to convert some of those into pure-ASCII-with-escapes, which preserving text strings. This is not something you can do automatically. Regards, Martin
