It does. Here is how CP437 decodes, before:

and after:

The problem (silently fixed) was that the table generation code for
legacychars.h ignored entries in the Unicode charmap files that used
lowercase a-f in the hex, _and_ omitted characters that appeared in
the same slot as their Unicode codepoint (in all the ISO-8859
encodings containing í, it appears in "its own" slot), since these
previously got a special encoding. If not for the latter, this
character would have been included in the legacychars.h map already
due to being in Latin-1, where the charmap file used uppercase.
Somehow when the character was missing in legacychars.h, the mapping
tables ended up containing nonsense.
