the buffer's coding system, if that coding system encodes the character
safely and with a single byte (@pxref{Coding Systems}).  If the
character's encoding is longer than one byte, Emacs shows @samp{file ...}.

  However, if the character displayed is in the range 0200 through
0377 octal, there's a case that it actually represents an invalid
UTF-8 byte.  Emacs represents such a byte in a buffer by a sequence of
8-bit characters, but displays only the original invalid byte in octal
form.  In such a case, Emacs shows @samp{part of display ...} instead
of @samp{file}.

  @samp{point=} is followed by the position of point expressed as a character
count.  The front of the buffer counts as position 1, one character later
as 2, and so on.  The next, larger, number is the total number of characters
in the buffer.  Afterward in parentheses comes the position expressed as a

  However, if the character displayed is in the range 0200 through

a file.  In Emacs, that byte is represented as a sequence of 8-bit
characters, but all of them together display as the original invalid
byte, in octal code.  In this case, @kbd{C-x =} shows @samp{part of
