AFAIK C-q NNN should insert the char whose internal character code is
NNN (in Emacs's own encoding, not in the keyboard's), so the
keyboard-coding-system should not have any influence.

In a unibyte buffer, a character code NNN (where NNN is less than 256)
should be inserted as that byte without any loss.
