The eight-bit-* chars are different characters than the latin1 ones, so they
can indeed be displayed differently.  The eight-bit-* chars have internal
codes 128-255, so you can use slots 128-255 of char tables to control how
they're displayed.  If the display-table says "nil" for one of them it'll be
displayed as \NNN.  IIRC in many normal startup situations, those slots are
set so as to display latin-1 chars.
