Thanks David - are we at crossed purposes here? %F6 does consist of % followed
by two hexadecimal digits and it does encode a single byte.

Not really. I'm suggesting that codepoint 246 is less than codepoint 255 and
can therefore be encoded as a single triple (I'm not sure about other systems
but Windows definitely seems to expect this). In the example I gave ("Göran")
the correct encoding for "ö" seems to be U+00F6 in everything other than UTF-8.
