I've got a text file that I'm trying to debug an encoding issue in. I ran the file through
od -c and got the following output:
3457540 , " t e x t " : " 302 241 Q u 303 251
My understanding from the man page is that -c "select[s] ASCII characters or backslash escapes." I guess I don't understand what a backslash escape is. I would have assumed it to be a C-string style escaped character, such as
\n. However, I'm getting values (302 and 303) that are clearly out of the range of a byte. Could somebody explain what's happening here?
