Sorry, it didn't when I tried it earlier, but apparently I messed up.
Yes, it does affect the display.
But this means the problem is even worse than I thought. If I evaluate
this in *scratch* in a terminal session running emacs -nw:
(setq display-raw-bytes-as-hex t) C-j
(format "%c%c" ?\u0090 ?5) C-j
Emacs displays this:
"\x905"
which is the wrong string visually. And if I cut this string out of the
terminal window and paste it into another terminal window running Emacs,
I'll get "अ" (a string containing the single character U+0905 DEVANAGARI
LETTER A), which is indeed the wrong string. The string should be
displayed unambiguously, either like this:
"\x80\ 5"
or via some other means.
The bottom line is that the visual display of buffers and strings should
continue to be unambiguous even when display-raw-bytes-as-hex is t.
