It's telling you the character-code equivalent of the answer in addition
to the numeric answer.  I suppose someone wanted to know that a lot or
something at some point and so added that feature.

You can always ignore it of course (it's only produced for display in
the echo area -- if you use a C-u prefix to insert the results, you get
just the number), though I suppose it might confuse some people.

It does seem like a pretty strange feature to tell the truth...
