I get exactly the same thing in both, attached. I called this 'one 
character' in my ignorance, but I guess the characters get combined.
Strangely, if I move the cursor through it with right-arrow key, it 
"explodes" into 3 characters while it has the focus - these are the same 
ones in the unicode standards sheets for those bytes.  But normally it 
appears as above.

Best Regards,
