This is what frhed (hex editor shows):

Text view: (Right side)
tion
(5 space looking characters)

Hex View: (Left Side)
74 69 6f 6e a0 a0 a0 a0 a0.

(Is this what we are looking for?)

As copied and pasted from the editor:
tion<bh:a0><bh:a0><bh:a0><bh:a0>

Please do let me know.

Thanks,

Abhishek

Those are not characters, they are bytes: in UTF-8 any byte above 7F is
part
of a multi-byte character, so the byte values are meaningless without
knowing the preceding or following bytes.
