It is. That's what I get when I turn grade 2 on from the display, and
when I specify -ten-nabcc on the brltty-ctb command. But when I
specify -tbrf I don't. Perhaps it's some anomaly of this very ancient
Ubuntu system.

OK, I am a first class fool. It turns out the problem is in the lynx
dump of the xml file. Although that file contains protégé, when lynx
finishes dumping it it becomes:

protégé

which seems to be 0xc383c2a9 unless mule is getting in the way in emacs.

And besides that, changing the text file to en-nabcc didn't solve a
darn thing! It looked like it did but that was because I modified lb,
my text file display script, to change ,,`a7,c7 to `e and I didn't
realize it was that mod which was at work here.

In the words of Mr. Peggotty, I'm gormed!
