I agree, and I vaguely remember that we discussed it looong ago, and people agreed on displaying them as octal. But, I've just found that standard-display-table is setup when we start Emacs with any locale of single byte charset (e.g. iso-8859-1). It seems that it is done intentionally by set-locale-environment as below. ;; If default-enable-multibyte-characters is nil, ;; we are using single-byte characters, ;; so the display table and terminal coding system are irrelevant. (when default-enable-multibyte-characters (set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system language-name)) I don't know the reason why it does this. Does anyone remember that? --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
