I agree, and I vaguely remember that we discussed it looong
ago, and people agreed on displaying them as octal.
But, I've just found that standard-display-table is setup
when we start Emacs with any locale of single byte charset
(e.g. iso-8859-1). It seems that it is done intentionally
by set-locale-environment as below.
;; If default-enable-multibyte-characters is nil,

(when default-enable-multibyte-characters
(set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system language-name))
I don't know the reason why it does this. Does anyone
remember that?
