This is really strange. I modified the characters(...) function to
output an integer representation of the given character (followed by a
space) and this is the output:

10 32 32 
8220 
72 101 114 101 
10 

So it correctly interpreted 8220 but, I surmise, the modification came
about due to System.out.print(...). Perhaps it is trying to translate
it to US-ASCII.

Thank you,
Elizabeth
