I figured it out, sort of. The first is actually ascii (255 maps to "ÿ"): http://www.ascii-code.com
So, when I take the string "Queensrÿche" (which IS actually encoded as utf-8) for example:
Decimal Char escaped
81 Q Q
117 u u
101 e e
101 e e
110 n n
115 s s
114 r r
195 - \x{c3}
191 - \x{bf}
99 c c
104 h h
101 e e
It is now printing on my terminal like this:
Queensrÿche
This makes sense, in a way, now because 195 maps to "Ã" and 191 maps to "¿". So, now my question is, why isn't this mapping using a utf-8 table (instead of ascii)? Encode thinks the string is utf-8 (which I assume means the utf-8 flag is on).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
