Not sure what you mean, but I see this (pasting):
((memq char '(?\t ? ))
which looks like this (typing this in):
((memq char '(?\t ?\343\200\200))
oops - as soon as I hit C-s to save what I'd typed so far, Outlook changed what
it looks like (I'm using plain text with encoding auto-select (the only
choice)). I'll type it again - this is what it looks like in Emacs:
((memq char '(?\t ?\343\200\200))
There, that time it didn't change - that's what I see: three octal sequences, of
343, 200, 200.

The text looks like ((memq char '(?\t ? )), and C-u C-x = on the char after the
second ? gives this:
character: (53409, #o150241, #xd0a1, U+3000)
charset: japanese-jisx0208 (JISX0208.1983/1990 Japanese Kanji: ISO-IR-87.)
code point: #x21 #x21
syntax: _ which means: symbol
category: j:Japanese |:While filling, we can break a line at this character.
buffer code: #x92 #xA1 #xA1
file code: #xE3 #x80 #x80 (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
-outline-Arial Unicode
MS-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-p-*-jisx0208-sjis (#x3000)
There are text properties here:
fontified t
If I do the same thing in Emacs 23 (with find-file-literally), I see this:
character: (227, #o343, #xe3)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point: 0xE3
syntax: w which means: word
category: j:Japanese l:Latin v:Vietnamese
buffer code: #xC3 #xA3
file code: #xC3 #xA3 (encoded by coding system no-conversion)
display: by this font (glyph code)

Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH TILDE
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
decomposition: (97 771) ('a' '\x03')
old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER A TILDE
Does this help? Thx - Drew
