 Normally display output (if any) in temp buffer `*Shell Command Output*';
 Prefix arg means replace the region with it.
 
+To specify a coding system for converting non-ASCII characters
+in the input and output to the shell command, use \\[universal-coding-system-argument]
+before this command.  By default, the input (from the current buffer)
+is encoded in the same coding system that will be used to save the file,
+`buffer-file-coding-system'.  If the output is going to replace the region,
+then it is decoded from that same coding system.
+
 The noninteractive arguments are START, END, COMMAND, OUTPUT-BUFFER, REPLACE.
 If REPLACE is non-nil, that means insert the output
 in place of text from START to END, putting point and mark around it.
+Noninteractive callers can specify coding systems by binding
+`coding-system-for-read' and `coding-system-for-write'.
 
 If the output is one line, it is displayed in the echo area,
 but it is nonetheless available in buffer `*Shell Command Output*'
