> The actual character in the string is ñ (#x3f).
No: the string does not contain any characters, only bytes, because it's
a unibyte string. So it contains the byte 241, not the character ñ.
The byte 241 can be inserted in multibyte strings and buffers because it
is also a char of code 4194289 (which gets displayed as \361).
