I don't see that: that is two characters and they are C5 and 92 in that
table. 8C is a AE ligature, there.
And what the 'hex value' is depends on the locale: see the preamble of
that table (which seems to assume everyone uses CP1252): you have not
stated yours.

[1] c3 85 e2 80 99
in UTF-8 (as will almost everyone not using Windows).
