Something seems to have changed here:

(single-key-description 128) => "€"
(single-key-description 4194303) => "\301\277"

But it's essentially still the same -- the 128 is a string of one
character, and the other one is a string of 8 characters.

I have no idea whether this is a bug or a feature, though.
