Because of my coding system (iso-8859, remember ?) the #xE0 should be
displayed as Aleph, not some 8 bit byte E0.
Instead of trying to understand my problem, you are telling me why
Emacs behaves in this way (which is of no use for Handa san suggestion:
a way to set the display table). If you think this is the way it should
be, give the reason, not the technical details.
