That's actually inexact, the numbers 8 and 9 are inserted like other 
chars. :)

Numbers below 8 are interpreted as the octal code of a character, 
terminated by the first non-digit character.

This behavior is described in more details in the docstring of the bound 
function quoted-insert, accessible with C-h k C-q.

Best wishes,
