(It's "C-x 8 RET", btw, not "C-8 RER", right?) The character that you get is U+1009F LINEAR B IDEOGRAM B150. Its name includes "150" as a substring, so perhaps you did something that caused Emacs to auto-complete the name? Like typing TAB or using some optional completion package? That's why I ask about "emacs -Q".
