This from manual:
As a special case, if the character lies in the range 128 (0200
octal) through 159 (0237 octal), it stands for a "raw" byte that does
not correspond to any specific displayable character. Such a
"character" lies within the `eight-bit-control' character set, and is
displayed as an escaped octal character code. In this case, `C-x ='
shows `part of display ...' instead of `file'.
I want change with behavior from octal to hex.
