Actually, this info is wrong. Most of Windows uses Cp1252, which is their extension to 8859-1. However, the DOS prompt is ANSI, Cp437. The Unicode character for "Latin Capital Letter U with Diaeresis" is 00D6. The ANSI character for it is 153. For the ansi character 246 that you mentioned, it is actually the symbol "Division Sign", Unicode character 00F7.
