A with tilde (majuscule: Ã, minuscule: ã) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the tilde diacritic over the letter A. It is used in Portuguese, Guaraní, Kashubian, Taa, Aromanian, and Vietnamese.
Why does É become Ã?
The reason lies in the UTF-8 representation. Characters below or equal to 127 ( 0x7F ) are represented with 1 byte only, and this is equivalent to the ASCII value. “é” is therefore between 127 and 2027 (233), so it will be coded on 2 bytes. Therefore its UTF-8 representation is 11000011 10101001 .

Why do apostrophes appear as â € TM?
You were wondering why apostrophes turn into ’? There's your answer: the text was written with UTF-8 and read as Windows-1252. Why might this happen? Well, a lot of times, browsers try to be smart and detect a page's character encoding, and sometimes they mess up and pick Windows-1252 instead of UTF-8.
What is the last UTF-8 character?
The direct answer to your question is U+10FFFD, which is a user-defined character from the Supplementary Private Use Area B. It appears that U+10FFFE and U+10FFFF are not allowed, probably to avoid problems with UTF-32 or UTF-16 and byte-order marks, etc. Thanks Jonathan for actually answering the question.
What character is 0x9D?
The Python "latin-1" codec translates it to Unicode 0x9D, which is "Operating System Command". That makes little sense. In Unicode you get a box with [009d].
What is a Unicode character type?
Unicode is a universal character set, ie. a standard that defines, in one place, all the characters needed for writing the majority of living languages in use on computers. Text in a computer or on the Web is composed of characters. Characters represent letters of the alphabet, punctuation, or other symbols.
What is an example of a Unicode character?
The code point is a unique number for a character or some symbol such as an accent mark or ligature. Unicode supports more than a million code points, which are written with a "U" followed by a plus sign and the number in hex; for example, the word "Hello" is written U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F (see hex chart).
