I am using Emacs on a Linux console.  I see them as two characters.
The first is n, and the second displays as a diamond.

I get the impression Emacs expects them to display as a single
character, though, because it messes up cursor positioning.
(Someone told me a variable to set to prevent that messing up,
but I failed to set it in .emacs and I don't remember its name now.
Does anyone recall?)
