Er, I amend that.   Those are the characters the Latin 9 characters replace
in Latin 1, but CP 1252 actually puts the caronned characters over some
of Latin 1's control characters: "vertical tab set", "single-shift 2,"
"single character intro" and "private message".

Er, and CP1252 is the Latin codepage, 1251 is the Cyrillic.
