 @kbd{C-q} followed by a sequence of octal digits inserts the character
 with the specified octal character code.  You can use any number of
-octal digits; any non-digit terminates the sequence.  If the terminating
-character is @key{RET}, it serves only to terminate the sequence; any
-other non-digit is itself used as input after terminating the sequence.
-(The use of octal sequences is disabled in ordinary non-binary Overwrite
-mode, to give you a convenient way to insert a digit instead of
-overwriting with it.)
