Subject: Extended ascii characters in emacs lisp
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:37:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F91D6FE.50406@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi (again),

I'm using fill-column-indicator.el to set a column margin at column 80 
in emacs. Currently it uses the pipe "|" symbol as the margin character.

I would like to change it one of the extended ascii characters, e.g. the 
solid block / long vertical pipe. I can set it to standard ascii 
characters using:

(setq fci-rule-character ?\101)

e.g. this will set the character to "A". But if I go over 127 into 
extended-ascii, I get:

Invalid read syntax: ?

What is the emacs lisp syntax for extended ascii characters?


Richard
