This is useful, but I prefer HEX base instead octal.

How can I change this behavior.

To hard find right keywords for search in manual and Google ((

This from manual:

   As a special case, if the character lies in the range 128 (0200
octal) through 159 (0237 octal), it stands for a "raw" byte that does
not correspond to any specific displayable character.  Such a
"character" lies within the `eight-bit-control' character set, and is
displayed as an escaped octal character code.  In this case, `C-x ='
shows `part of display ...' instead of `file'.

I want change with behavior from octal to hex.
