Maybe I am misunderstanding, but I think the `#x' and `#o' syntax is
not cryptic at all in the context. These at least preserve identity:

 4194208, #o17777640, #x3fffa0

This signals an error:
 (unibyte-char-to-multibyte
  (unibyte-char-to-multibyte 160))

Also, there is the brevity factor:

(aref (syntax-table) #o17777640)

(aref (syntax-table) #x3fffa0)

(aref (syntax-table) 4194208)

(aref (syntax-table)
      (unibyte-char-to-multibyte 160))

Howsabout just this one for all of them:

 `#\'
