transportable from machine to machine without recompilation. It is not,
however, as fast as true compiled code.
Compiling a Lisp file with the Emacs byte compiler always reads the
file as multibyte text, even if Emacs was started with @samp{--unibyte},
unless the file specifies otherwise. This is so that compilation gives
results compatible with running the same file without compilation.
@xref{Loading Non-ASCII}.
In general, any version of Emacs can run byte-compiled code produced
by recent earlier versions of Emacs, but the reverse is not true.

@xref{Coding Systems}.
To make the results more predictable, Emacs always performs decoding
into the multibyte representation when loading Lisp files, even if it
was started with the @samp{--unibyte} option. This means that string
constants with non-@acronym{ASCII} characters translate into multibyte
strings. The only exception is when a particular file specifies no
decoding.
The reason Emacs is designed this way is so that Lisp programs give
predictable results, regardless of how Emacs was started. In addition,
this enables programs that depend on using multibyte text to work even
