I have downloaded a file that claims to be ISO-8859-1.  In it (among
many other stuff) are the bytes shown here (first column is the
character, the second is ord(character), the third and fourth are binary
respectively hexidecimal representations of the character.

P /  80 / 01010000 / 50
l / 108 / 01101100 / 6c
z / 122 / 01111010 / 7a
e / 101 / 01100101 / 65
\303 / 195 / 11000011 / c3
\205 / 133 / 10000101 / 85
\313 / 203 / 11001011 / cb
\206 / 134 / 10000110 / 86

This is supposed to be ISO-8859-1 encoded, and should encode the
character U+0148 (\v{n}; Latin small letter n with caron). 

Does anybody have any idea how I could decode this (or how it was
encoded in the first place)?  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
