   what is your OS using? that's the key... if you are on winwhatever, you may be   
   using CP1252 but in modern winwhatever, it could be UTF-16... the thing is that   
    the old (single byte) codepages are basically out but there's still a lot of   
   software that tries to use them when mapping characters and rendering glyphs...   
    if the character doesn't exist in the SBCP (single byte codepage), then it is   
   not rendered at all or maybe it is rendered as a box with an 'x' in it or   
   possibly as a question mark... if there's a character in that position in the   
   256 byte codepage, you may see the wrong glyph...   
      
   it gets really deep when entering the world of MBCS (multi byte character   
   sets)...   
      
   FWIW: the message i'm replying to carries a "CHRS: ASCII 1" control line...   
   this is perfectly fine since your post contains only 7bit ASCII characters...
