As I commented below, it's incredibly striking exactly because it betrays a complete unawareness of the logic behind these systems.
These aren't just funny codes, there is a whole mindset behind it. ASCII being grouped in chunks of 32. Being able to flip between uppercase and lowercase by flipping a bit. The history of upper 8-bit codepages in DOS.
And I didn't even comment on the fact that your "byte" uses 16-bit notation.
