emacs -Q
The character range (128 . 4194303) is bound to `self-insert-command'.
(single-key-description 128) gives "\200"
(single-key-description 4194303) gives "\377"
However, in the former case, "\200" is a string with one character,
\200. In the latter case, "\377" is a string with four characters, \,
3, 7, and 7.
In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-07-29 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.4)'

Something seems to have changed here:
(single-key-description 128) => ""
(single-key-description 4194303) => "\301\277"
But it's essentially still the same -- the 128 is a string of one
character, and the other one is a string of 8 characters.
I have no idea whether this is a bug or a feature, though.

This change is just the result of the switch from emacs-mule in
Emacs-22 to emacs-unicode in Emacs≥23 (i.e. 128 doesn't mean the same
char any more).

Showing the internal representation of byte characters is clearly a bug.
I.e. (single-key-description 4194303) could/should return something like
"\377" either as a single char or as 4 chars.

Fixed on emacs-23.

The four char form is just the print representation and has nothing to
do with single-key-description.
