Subject: 26.3; (elisp) Basic Char Syntax: Show octal and Unicode names as
 well, for chars
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2023 21:17:56 +0000

In the list of character representations shown, please:

1. State that the digits shown (so far) are decimal.
2. But show also the octal digits.
3. Show also other names, such as Unicode/ISO names.
   E.g., say that "vertical tab" is the char that has the ISO name
   <Line Tabulation> (VT).  (And still mention that it's C-k.)

IOW, give a little more info, esp. commonly encountered or "official" names for such chars.
