That's a different issue. You said "\x905" was wrong visually, so I asked how is that different, visually, from "\2205".
It's wrong visually, because I know the syntax for strings in Emacs Lisp, and I know that "\x905" is supposed to be a 1-character string whereas "\2205" is a two-character string.
Same thing happens when you copy/paste from an Emacs window which uses a display table
The difference is that I don't use display tables and don't want to use them. In contrast, I would like to use hexadecimal display, if it worked as well as octal does (which it does not).
