The source seems to have been the text/html component of an email.
However, here's a reproduction case:
$ xxd chime.html
00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48 <html><body>...H
00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d ello</body></htm
00000020: 6c3e 0a
(if you want to reverse that, you can
$ xxd -r > chime.html << EOF
00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48 <html><body>...H
00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d ello</body></htm
00000020: 6c3e 0a
EOF
to create "chime.html" exactly)
When viewed in GUI browsers,
$ firefox chime.html
there's a UTF-8 double-quote before the "Hello" as marked by the
bytes 0xE2, 0x80, 0x9C. However, when I open that document with
lynx
$ lynx chime.html
it (1) doesn't display the double-quote, and also (2) eats the
"H" in "Hello". Trying to view-source ("\") on that document also
manifests the same symptoms.
Hopefully that gives you adequate test case to break things, too. :-)
