Are you seeing this problem in "emacs -Q"? (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".
