Ok, so there are no needs = whatsoever to display *any* character when evaluating an integer, am I = correct ?

Indeed, it's merely a convenience for the = case where the integer that is returned is actually meant to represent a = character.

Except that currently this only works for = a very limited subset of the Emacs supported character set. So it's not = really a "convenience"...

It seems to me that setting = eval-expression-print-maximum-character to support only ascii is only a = good option if we don't have a smart way to evaluate integers without = sifting through all the available fonts.
