Andrus, you keep trying to decode UTF-8 characters that are not what you think they are.

CHR(0xc3) + CHR(0x83) is the UTF-8 encoding of Latin Capital A with tilde. This does not have a correspondence in code page 1257, therefore the question mark. If you STRCONV() into windows-1252, you'll be able to see à instead.

CHR(0xc2) + CHR(0x9c) is a control character. It does not have a visual representation.

See table https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?start=128 for details.
