There is also the option to change the 'base' of the character code

This feature is supported; see the variable `read-quoted-char-radix'.
Right, it works a bit, i.e. in the ASCII range it works well. When it
comes to ISO Latin it interprets all in ISO Latin-1, i.e. C-s C-q 0 0
a 4 RET searches in an ISO 8859-16 encoded buffer for CURRENCY UNIT
although it is EURO in this case. A translation to the buffer local
encoding obviously does not happen ...
(setq read-quoted-char-radix 16)
(setq read-quoted-char-charset 'ucs)
After applying your patch this behaviour does not change, it's still
assumed that the encoding is ISO Latin-1. 00A4 is categorically ``¦
´´. The improvement is that I can find via an Unicode value an ISO
Latin encoded character – is this an improvement? The file code is A4
in any ISO Latin case, and the character is U+20AC in Unicode when in
ISO Latin-10/ISO Latin-0 or ISO Latin-9. This looks like a Do What I
Mean. Really not bad! But the real way should be C-s C-q 2 4 4 RET or
C-s C-q A 4 RET or C-s C-q 1 6 4 RET (decimal), because it searches
for the codes one expects in the encoded file, and which does not work.

Some day we may discover how to make magnets that can point in any
direction.
