All problems come from the "--unibyte" option. It tells Emacs to
handle ASCII and *ISO-8859-1*. You are just faking ISO-8859-1 to
ISO-8859-2 when displaying.

So, please don't specify the "--unibyte" option. And set your language
environment like:

(set-language-environment "Latin-2")

in your ".emacs".

P.S.

I believe set-language-environment is meaningless with the "--unibyte"
option.
