 You can specify characters by their hexadecimal character
 codes.  A hexadecimal escape sequence consists of a backslash,
 @samp{x}, and the hexadecimal character code.  Thus, @samp{?\x41} is
 the character @kbd{A}, @samp{?\x1} is the character @kbd{C-a}, and
-@code{?\xe0} is the character @kbd{à} (@kbd{a} with grave accent).
-You can use any number of hex digits, so you can represent any
-character code in this way.
