When Emacs prints the number, it doesn't know where it came from.  So
it just has to do what's possible.

(+ ?0 3) is probably meant to be the character ?3, so what about (+
48 3)?

Deciding when something is a character and when it isn't is
ai-complete.  Emacs is well on its way (M-x doctor RET), but just not
quite there, yet.
