title: Printing ASCII value of BB (HEX) in Unix
body: <p>When I am trying to paste the character » (right double angle quotes) in Unix from my Notepad, it's converting to /273. The corresponding Hex value is BB and the Decimal value is 187.</p>
  
  <p>My actual requirement is to have this character as the file delimiter when I export a .dat file from a database table. So, this character was put in as the delimiter after each column name. But, while copy-pasting, it's getting converted to /273.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea about how to fix this? I am on Solaris (SunOS 5.10).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Visakh</p>
