The one that's set in recent versions (as far as I know),
i.e. `iso-2022-7bit', at least if you want to be at all portable
between Emacs and XEmacs as some people apparently do.  The _correct_
one in Emacs 21 is really `emacs-mule', as etc/MORE.STUFF says, but
`iso-2022-7bit' happens to DTRT with eight-bit characters.

[I know various people seem to know better -- that's their data's
funeral.  I also know that the private charsets aren't portable
between Emacs and XEmacs.]
