Exactly!
BUT, sadly, that is UTF-8, NOT ASCII!
On this machine, it shows up as a three character sequence of an
underlined inverted 'T' (or castrated "plus/minus", or 5150 character
215), followed by a "caret" ('^'), followed by an "at symbol"
('@').
'PI' is in the 5150 extensions to ASCII as character 227
UTF-8 matches ASCII for UTF-8's first 127 characters, and then
appears to diverge into multi-byte sequences [for some definitions of
"byte"]
UTF-8 was apparently heavily influenced by Ken Thompson, but was Ritchie
ever involved in its development?
