I am trying to use emacs to interface with a program that treats
utf-8 characters in its input and output as octal escape sequences.
So the program's output contains ascii strings like "\302\247",
which I want to display within Emacs as "§". Likewise, I want to
feed text containing utf-8 characters such as "§" into this program.
So I need to convert these utf-8 characters back to their respective
octal escape sequences. What is the proper way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot,

Roland
