Subject: bug#1727: 23.0.60; char syntax for non-breaking space
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2016 11:58:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM-tV-9_woL_h=a_G+F0RcNcNmGA3FLd4SFrJ7MVdnHYKF8qPQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1LHFHX-0005n1-CQ@fencepost.gnu.org>
The discrepancy between char and string escaping syntax is currently
documented under "Non-ASCII Characters in Strings":
You can also use hexadecimal escape sequences (‘\xN’) and octal
escape sequences (‘\N’) in string constants. *But beware:* If a string
constant contains hexadecimal or octal escape sequences, and these
escape sequences all specify unibyte characters (i.e., less than 256),
and there are no other literal non-ASCII characters or Unicode-style
escape sequences in the string, then Emacs automatically assumes that it
is a unibyte string. That is to say, it assumes that all non-ASCII
characters occurring in the string are 8-bit raw bytes.
