For me, the sequence i ctrl-v alt-n <Left> <C-O> ga results
in exactly same thing:
<î> <|n> <M-n> 238, Hex ee, Octal 356
This is vim7.0f
I used command :set encoding=8bit-cp437 to change encoding.
Some useful info is missinf in your email.
1. Do you toggle some other settings besides 'encoding' when
you switch between the two encodings ? What is exact sequence of
commands that you use to switch encodings ?
2. What is your vim version, and OS ? Console vim or gui vim ?
