::Sorry to keep this going, but I really think you have some misunderstanding of this, though I cannot figure out exactly what your confusion is, but I am just trying to be helpful and correct it. Basically either mod-256 is applied to the number typed in or it is not. This means that 960 either turns into 960 or 192, and can therefore produce either {{char|π}} or {{char|À}}. And it means that 448 can either turn into 448 or 192, and can therefore produce either {{char|ǀ}} or {{char|À}}. What you have shown is that in Wordpad, the first case (no modulus) applies, for both letters. But neither example has improved "brevity" over the other. And you seem to think that showing that another number that is equivalent to 192 also does not have modulus applied somehow enforces the idea that "modulus has nothing to do with it". Of course modulus has nothing to do with the case that ''modulus is not used''. IMHO a better proof would be to use a number that is ''not'' equivalent (just in case somebody want's to claim that you have only proven that modulus is not applied only to numbers that are equivalent to 192 modulus 256).[[User:Spitzak|Spitzak]] ([[User talk:Spitzak|talk]]) 18:23, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
