I am pretty sure now that I am right about this, because when I check the
codepoints in this file

I get this kind of result:

   category: h:Korean  
buffer code: 0x93 0xBF 0xF8
  file code: 0xEC 0x9B 0x90
	     (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)

So I think we can forget about HELLO for the purposes of the present discussion.
