The source seems to have been the text/html component of an email.
However, here's a reproduction case:

$ xxd chime.html
00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48  <html><body>...H
00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d  ello</body></htm
00000020: 6c3e 0a

(if you want to reverse that, you can

$ xxd -r > chime.html << EOF
00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48  <html><body>...H
00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d  ello</body></htm
00000020: 6c3e 0a
EOF

to create "chime.html" exactly)

When viewed in GUI browsers,

  $ firefox chime.html

there's a UTF-8 double-quote before the "Hello" as marked by the
bytes 0xE2, 0x80, 0x9C.  However, when I open that document with
lynx

  $ lynx chime.html

it (1) doesn't display the double-quote, and also (2) eats the
"H" in "Hello".  Trying to view-source ("\") on that document also
manifests the same symptoms.

Hopefully that gives you adequate test case to break things, too. :-)
