Bug: pasting `v¾¾r` or using https://ftfy.vercel.app/?s=v%C2%BE%C2%BEr inserts `Â` before each `¾` and comes up with the wrong solution.
Pasting v¾¾r or using https://ftfy.vercel.app/?s=v%C2%BE%C2%BEr inserts  before each ¾ and wrongly results in this:
s = 'v¾¾r'
s = s.encode('latin-1')
s = s.decode('utf-8')
print(s)
then prints v¾¾r (which it started with)
The actual solution should be this:
s = 'v¾¾r'
s = s.encode('cp850')
s = s.decode('latin-1')
print(s)
printing vóór.
