Grep - build character range with octal or hexa representation

Hello

I would like to make a character range like that :
Code:
echo "ABCDEF+1234" | grep -E '[\x26-\x40]'

or
Code:
echo "ABCDEF+1234" | grep -E '[\046-\100]'

or
Code:
echo "ABCDEF+1234" | grep -E '[&-@]'

Which should works on linux with english language
And works also on linux with french language ( english install and after add french )
On my second laptop ( french ) I got this error :
Code:
grep: end of interval invalid

but its works on my server (english)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
