Re: Meaning of \C-? in bracket regular expression

(info "(elisp) Ctl-Char Syntax") says that

  For historical reasons, Emacs treats the <DEL> character as the
  control equivalent of ‘?’:

       ?\^? ⇒ 127     ?\C-? ⇒ 127

Try (string-to-vector "[^\C-?}]").

So this is a question of string read syntax - there is no character "-"
in this string representing a regexp.
