+  Non-ASCII characters 0200 through 0237 (octal) are displayed with
+octal escape sequences; thus, character code 0230 (octal) is displayed
+as @samp{\230}.  The display of character codes 0240 through 0377
+(octal) may be either as escape sequences or as graphics.  They do not
+normally occur in multibyte buffers but if they do, they are displayed
