I still don't understand. Can you be more specific?

If I understand correctly what you mean by "those bytes", then using "·"
instead of "\267" gives you the decoded form right away without having
to do extra work.

I lost you here. I agree that "if it stays as bytes" you're going to
suffer, which is why I propose to use chars instead.
