I interpret this to mean that ANY character in the range [32,255]

according
to this rule also. Apparently I was mistaken.
You were, if you thought you can spell the name of a character that
way. In a Lisp expression the literal `3' is not a character, it is a
number. The literal `a' is not a character, it is a symbol.
Characters are denoted with a question mark, such as `?3' or `?a', and
will not be recognized by the Lisp parser as characters unless spelled
correctly with the prefix '?'.
