Didn't bother to read the rest of your message, so apologies if my guess is wrong. My guess is that you are wondering why a number (in this case 8) is shown that way. If so, that's how Emacs shows a character interactively: in decimal (8), octal (#o10), hexadecimal (#x8), and as a character (?\C-h). (In Emacs Lisp, a character is an integer.) So: (setq foo ?\C-h) ; 8 M-: foo RET ; evaluate foo and print the value 8 (#o10, #x8, ?\C-h) Same thing for (setq foo 8).
