It's an extra 0 at the end from padding sometimes. I've corrected it already in the version under my name in Prolific Programmers.
Think of it as the following 14 bites (two 7-bit "words"):
1111111 1000000....
Now, you can see where we'd make two 8-bit characters with those:
11111111 000000..
It's extra padding left over, giving us a stray 0 at the end, which I didn't notice and ignore in my math above.
