The very first sentence there says:
Since characters are really integers, the printed representation of a
character is a decimal number.
And all the rest of the subsection shows those printed representations.
> 2. But show also the octal digits.
Show where and how? And why?
> 3. Show also other names, such as Unicode/ISO names.
> E.g., say that "vertical tab" is the char that has the ISO name
> <Line Tabulation> (VT). (And still mention that it's C-k.)
The next subsection, "General Escape Syntax", includes this
information.

I think we already do, but you need to consider the entire section,
not just its single subsection, which correctly starts with the
basics, before we proceed with more advanced stuff.
