Found it. It is "middle dot" U+00B7 which in UTF-8 two bytes of octal |
| 22 |
302 267 or hex C2 8E. |

Also, now that I look at the page source, I see "<title>Introduction |
| 25 |
to Metaprogramming in Nim · HookRace Blog</title>" so I do |
| 26 |
wonder if it is something funny with the character coding with |
| 27 |
iso88591. In fact, it does look like that unicode point it NOT |
| 28 |
available in iso88591. I wonder what the proper fall-back should be in |
| 29 |
such a case. |
