Hmm. I'm pretty sure gcl doesn't support unicode, so I don't know
what's going on when you have a minus_sign character. #x2212 if split
into two characters is a double quote (") and a control-r. Maybe
maxima is waiting for you to close the string?

The output of describe varies a lot and depends very much on your lisp
implementation.
