a7c2 (which really should be read c2a7 since Intel/AMD processors are little 
endian) is UTF-8 for 00A7, so what you have are section signs encoded in UTF-8.

So now we need to understand the next step. How are you transferring what's in 
your file to the screen, and what's telling you that what's on your screen, 
after you do that, are 8bc3 characters?

I understand, and I'm not ultimately doubting you, but I also make absolutely 
no assumptions when trying to understand a problem.
