CHARACTER must be a valid character code that passes the `characterp' test. -Control characters turn into "^char", the 2**7 bit is treated as Meta, etc. +Control characters turn into "^char", and characters with Meta and other +modifiers signal an error, as they are not valid characterr codes. This differs from `single-key-description' which accepts character events, and thus doesn't enforce the `characterp' condition, turns control characters into "C-char", and uses the 2**27 bit for Meta. |
