I think the change in Emacs 23 is OK, but it needs to be consistent in characters and strings. > IIUC if you want the character with code #xa0, then using \u00a0 would > seem like the most unambiguous option Agreed. Using \uNNNN is an unambiguous way of saying you want a Unicode character whose codepoint is NNNN in hex. > Not sure what \NNN or \xMM should do. I think they should insert a raw byte with that code, and I think they should do that both in characters and in strings, so that the inconsistent behavior reported by Richard will become consistent.
