ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1), Shift JIS, among others.

Am I tripping? I thought 65 was "A"?

Can't help you with your use of hallucinogenic substances, but I think you're mixing your decimal and hex. Decimal 65 is a capital "A". Hex 65 (0x65) gives you lowercase "e".

Ooooooooh duhhhhhh. I applied "automatically ignore prefix" filter for some reason. Dumb brain.

If we keep to text encodings, then it's easier to find an encoding where it doesn't.
