This:

  eval-expression-print-maximum-character is a variable defined in ‘simple.el’.
  Its value is 127
  
    You can customize this variable.
  
  
  This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
  version 26.1 of Emacs.
    Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.
  
  Documentation:
  The largest integer that will be displayed as a character.
  This affects printing by ‘eval-expression’ (via
  ‘eval-expression-print-format’).
