This is useful for inserting control characters.
With argument, insert ARG copies of the character.
If the first character you type after this command is an octal digit,
you should type a sequence of octal digits that specify a character code.
Any nondigit terminates the sequence. If the terminator is a RET,
it is discarded; any other terminator is used itself as input.
If the first character you type is an octal digit, the sequence of
one or more octal digits you type is interpreted to specify a
character code. Any character that is not an octal digit terminates
the sequence. If the terminator is a RET, it is discarded; any
other terminator is used itself as input and is inserted.
The variable `read-quoted-char-radix' specifies the radix for this feature;
set it to 10 or 16 to use decimal or hex instead of octal.
set it to 10 or 16 to use decimal or hex instead of octal. If you change
the radix, the characters interpreted as specifying a character code
change accordingly: 0 to 9 for decimal, 0 to F for hex.
In overwrite mode, this function inserts the character anyway, and
does not handle octal digits specially. This means that if you use
overwrite as your normal editing mode, you can use this function to
insert characters when necessary.
