--- Comment #3 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
And, this is documented in the ls manual page around the -w option, although it
isn't as clear -- that the default is to escape non-printable with ? -- as I'd
like:

     -w      Force raw printing of non-printable characters.  This is the
             default when output is not to a terminal.  This option is not
             defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).
...
     The -B, -b, -w, and -q options all override each other; the last one
     specified determines the format used for non-printable characters.
