I checked the contents of the html file itself and found this:

	&#132;Die Familie Schroffenstein&#147

I thought that the notation &#NUMBER is for transmitting
Unicode character of code NUMBER.  But, 132 and 147 are
control codes in Unicode, not any kind of quotings.  Do you
know a proper web page describing the meaning of them?

That's a general feature of Emacs.   C-d DELETEs a
character, not KILL it.   C-y can yank only what killed.
The Emacs info nodes "Deletion and Killing" tells the
difference in detail.
