What character is associated with it on display depends on interpretation--if it's not a byte that maps to a real character in your current character set, you'll get some sort of "invalid character" marker. SO--if you know the hex representation of the 'character' in the password string, remember that 'od' is your friend. You can do something like cat <<! >foobar TYPE IN CHARACTERS ! where, in "TYPE IN CHARACTERS", you can do everything from normal characters (probably for reference points in the stream) to control characters and Alt-xxx codes. After you enter the exclamation point on a line by itself, you'll have a file 'foobar' that you can then do od -c foobar | less and examine the resultant byte codes.
