$ ocaml
         Objective Caml version 3.10.2

# let c =3D '=F6';;
Characters 8-9:
   let c =3D '=F6';;
           ^
Syntax error
#

Meanwhile, in another terminal window:

$ ocaml
         Objective Caml version 3.10.2

# let c  =3D '=F6';;
val c : char =3D '\246'
#

I prefer my strings to be composed of chars that represent characters.
