Unicode and emacs

["Pawson, David" <DPawson at rnib dot org dot uk>]

I'm using emacs+psgml.

XML files when imported, show non plain ascii chars
as (appearance of) \234  (but as a single character space).

I'm fairly used to non plain chars in their xyz entity form,
but how do I translate these into glyphs please? Or character
references I might understand as a human, not a machine.

I can honestly say this is the first time I have frowned at
emacs :-) 

Is it hex, decimal, <cringe>octal</cringe>.
I'm guessing its in the base plain, but I'm not sure enough
to do a M-$ on 'em.

E.g. Is \234 == &#234;, or &#x234;

TIA, DaveP
