Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When I type C-x = at a non-breaking space, it tells me that it has code 160, hex a0. But when I execute (insert "\xa0"), it inserts something that displays as `\240' and for which C-x = displays this: Char:   (4194208, #o17777640, #x3fffa0, raw-byte) point=198 of 211 (93%) column=5 Is that a bug? It seems quite confusing to me. I am unable to figure out what I should write in Lisp code to represent non-breaking space. This isn't documented. Perhaps \N should give non-breaking space. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /home/rms/emacs-cvs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
