It is confusing, but the table displayed is listed as the *coded* charset, so it has the +0x80 transformation applied. > Also, what are the first three numbers in parenthesis on the > `character:' line? They are the code-point in the internal encoding (emacs-mule in the current version) in decimal, octal and hexadecimal.
