You do not have to do anything special at all. This:
[[123],[456]]
is a list with two elements, each of wich is a list with one integer
element.

Only when you try and print it using the default Erlang term printing rules,
does the _formatting_ turn the first list into its equivalent string
representation. It does that, because it looks like a string (i.e., a list
of integers < 128).

["{",[456]]
2> V1.
123
