more characters than @var{string} has.

If @var{string} is already a unibyte string, then the value is
@var{string} itself.  Otherwise it is a newly created string, with no
text properties.  If @var{string} is multibyte, any characters it
contains of charset @var{eight-bit-control} or @var{eight-bit-graphic}
are converted to the corresponding single byte.
@end defun

@defun string-as-multibyte string
This function returns a string with the same bytes as @var{string} but

If @var{string} is already a multibyte string, then the value is
@var{string} itself.  Otherwise it is a newly created string, with no
text properties.  If @var{string} is unibyte and contains any individual
8-bit bytes (i.e.@: not part of a multibyte form), they are converted to
the corresponding multibyte character of charset @var{eight-bit-control}
or @var{eight-bit-graphic}.
