FWIW: there is no ""conversion""... it is simply displaying the glyphs
represented by those raw bytes in their CP437 codepage positions... CP437 and
other old-school codepage characters are only one byte wide... any
""conversion"" might come from translating between single byte codepages where
the character glyph is transliterated from one position in the first codepage
to another position in the second codepage where its glyph is stored... in that
case, the raw byte changes because the position in the codepage changed and the
byte is the position...
