Yes, under Emacs-20.7 the code received was not always translated through the locale-coding-system, so it sometimes said "233" instead of "à". Luckily it still worked in most cases because self-insert-command, when inserting the char in the buffer used the `nonascii-translation-table' which turned the "233" into "à". In Emacs-21, this was fixed so that the code received is now always "à" rather than 233 (233 may mean à in some locales but it means other things in other locales). In future Emacsen, which specific "à" is returned is likely to change. See the "translating keys" thread. Stefan
