Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument characterp 134217837)
  text-char-description(134217837)

          (text-char-description ?\C-\M-m)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument characterp 134217741)

Not sure if there is a bug in the implementation of text-char-description,
or its documentation was not updated after some implementation changes.
