Having a char encoding issue

…

Anyone know what encoding this is, and why it only seems applicable to part of the text?

UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1/Windows-1252 and then encoded back into UTF-8. Probably came from a copy/paste of material in a different encoding, via a program that was not charset-aware.

I assume it was the only non-ASCII character.
