Not sure whether you could do it by opening the file with a hex editor and then sift through the information it dumps to screen. There is the BiffViewer utility that is bundled with the api. This might be useful to you as it extracts and displays to screen information about the various records that make up the file. Sifting through that may expose what the character is but there remains, of course, the concern that if POI is 'mangling' the character (which I doubt as Nick has explained) the same will happen here. The other thought I had is could it be concerned with the language settings of the machine? I do not know if this is the case but could that change the appearance of a character?
