you can easily see the multibyte codes in the hex table even though the
character is not formed properly in the text side... that is because it is a
hex character being viewed in a CP437 terminal... if i type in characters like
o diaresis and similar, they are displayed in the same manner... some byte
followed by a tilde followed by a character... generally a capital one in what
i've seen...

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
