Buffer string characters come out weird.  
The code looks like this and it comes out weird in the debug window.  
The numbers come out fine... If I press the buffer as a string, it comes out as follows.  
Any solution?  
For reference, I am setting the Raspberry Pi in Korean, and I set the encoding to utf-8.

What do you expect the four binary values that represent the number to appear as if you tell it to display it as a string?
