   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...
