That should instead have been 33 d9 ab 32.
And that indicates that the problem is indeed with the OS.
My guess is that it doesn't consider the possibility of a multi-byte
radix character, so it uses just the first byte, but \xd9 is a start
byte of a two byte sequence, so this is leading to malformed UTF-8.
I'll submit a trouble ticket for them.
