Your encryption function works on bytes, there's not reason why
it should have any relationship with charsets or work
differently on different systems.
$ printf 'library ieee;' | perl -ne 'print pack "C*", reverse
map {$_^0xFF} unpack "C*", $_' | od -tx1
0000000 c4 9a 9a 9a 96 df 86 8d 9e 8d 9d 96 93
0000015
$ printf 'library ieee;' | perl -ne 'print pack "C*", reverse
map {$_^0xFF} unpack "C*", $_' | perl -ne 'print pack "C*",
reverse map {$_^0xFF} unpack "C*", $_'
library ieee;
Your c) above is obviously garbage. Only "y " and "e;" are there
from the original string
$ printf 'C4 9A EF BF BD EF BF BD EF BF BD DF 86 EF BF BD EF BF
BD EF BF BD EF BF BD EF BF BD EF BF BD' | perl -ane 'print pack
"(H2)*",@F' | perl -ne 'print pack "C*", reverse map {$_^0xFF}
unpack "C*", $_' | od -tc
0000000 B @ 020 B @ 020 B @ 020 B @ 020 B @ 020 B
0000020 @ 020 y B @ 020 B @ 020 B @ 020 e ;
