ツ is not ASCII. It's the Japanese "tsu" character (katakana system) which takes
3 bytes to represent (227 131 132).I can type it easily enough on my Japanese
keyboard (switching it to Japanese mode).I'm not sure what "¯" is from, but it
needs 2 bytes to represent it (it's not ASCII).> Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015
