Does the character 96 HEX have any special meaning in internet protocols/formats?

Issue

sorry for the vague subject, the issue is such:

I create an event with invitees in google calendar; on the receiving side an email arrives as multipart, which, in its text/html block, has the following text (quoted-prinatble encoded)

Wed Jun 9 1pm =96 2p=
m

I googled for the =96 and can't find anything. (the charset or this block is windows-1252, BTW)

thanks a lot!

Solution

The Windows-1252 character set shows that the value 0096 is sometimes used as a representation of Unicode 2013, an "en dash". For some reason the table on that Wikipedia page doesn't show 0096 in hex, but does show 150 in decimal for that character.
