The subsequence (line split differently): C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD (8 repititions) is rather systematic for a glitch or random line noise. As UTF-8 (also showing UTF-16's alternate, matching John's) ( https://www.charset.org/utf-8 ): C3 AF: 239 U+00EF C3 AF =C3=AF Latin Small Letter I With Diaeresis C2 BF: 191 U+00BF C2 BF =C2=BF Inverted Question Mark C2 BD: 189 U+00BD C2 BD =C2=BD Vulgar Fraction One Half As extended ASCII ( https://www.ascii-code.com/ ): C3: 195 303 C3 11000011 =C3=83 Ã Ã Latin capital letter A = with tilde C2: 194 302 C2 11000010 =C3=82 Â Â Latin capital letter A = with circumflex BF: 191 277 BF 10111111 =C2=BF ¿ ¿ Inverted question mark BD: 189 275 BD 10111101 =C2=BD ½ ½ Fraction one half AF: 175 257 AF 10101111 =C2=AF ¯ ¯ Spacing macron - overline Binary is ^^^^^^^^ So C3 AF C2 BF C2 BD on separate lines with binary showing are: C3: 11000011 AF: 10101111 C2: 11000010 BF: 10111111 C2: 11000010 BD: 10111101 C3: 11000011 So: multi-bit changes from one to the next across the repeating sequence. Again: It does not appear to me to be gitches or random line noise. Systematic line noise also seems rather unlikely. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
