This bug report will be sent to the
Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': In section 2.3.3.4 of the Elisp Reference Manual, this sentence occurs: The integer that represents such a character has the $2^{27}$ bit set. I have expressed the number using the TeX/LaTeX manner. The point is that, in the following paragraph, the text refers to the $2^7$ bit. I suspect, therefore, that the 27 mentioned should really be 7. If 27 was intended, that would mean that char tables would have to accommodate more than 134 million characters! Surely not!
