On this page:

I found this:

The two byte sequence \302\240
 
 is the UTF-8 encoding for the character
 
 known in Tcl-Unicode notation as \u00a0
 
 which is the non-breaking space.  When
 
 you write that character to output on
 
 a system with system encoding of
 
 iso8859-1 it gets written as the single
 
 byte \240 which is the same character
 
 in that encoding.  Likewise, if you were
 
 to read in the byte \240 on the same
 
 system, Tcl will convert it back to UTF-8
 
 so by the time Tcl sees it again, it will
 
 be the 2-byte sequence \302\240 .
