I don't really care one way or another, but Peter (Dyballa) suggests
that it would be more user-friendly if non-ASCII characters
entered/searched-for via C-q <code> used a standard like unicode to
interpret <code>, rather than Emacs internal character numbers as it
does now.

[In Emacs 23, of course, Emacs internal character numbers will _be_
unicode, so the distinction will go away.]
