No CHRS kludge...

H what's that? Oh wait it is the sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF. That is the UTF-8 sequence for
the BOM or Byte Order Mark.
An obsolete, depricated way of signalling that the text is encoded in UTF-8.
But then..

^^^^^^^^^^
This is not encoded in UTF-8. It is CP437, CP850, CP866 or any other CPxxx encoding that has the block characters.
So you have no CHRS kludge to signal the encoding, use an ancient signalling method for UTF-8, but actually endode in CPxxx.
You have some tuning to do on your system. ;-)
Cheers, Michiel
