I don't see that: that is two characters and they are C5 and 92 in that table. 8C is a AE ligature, there.
Typo: OE as in your subject line.
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.
why in my R console ?
charToRaw("??")
[1] c5 92
is not 8C ?
Because R is better at looking up hex values than you are. I get
> charToRaw("??")
[1] c3 85 e2 80 99 in UTF-8 (as will almost everyone not using Windows).
