Huh ? Am I missing something ?

In the above example, anything that doesn't render as a printable
character, for example, anything less than 0x20 or the things that do
render incorrectly in the above example as a printable character when
they clearly are not (such as 0xc0, which renders as an uppercase A).

I'm also assuming you are not showing a block mode display instead
of a record mode display.

Simon.
