With C-u C-x =, as I said.

Different people might use different fonts on different machines. In
that sense, the results could be different. I don't know anything
about Cyrillic, so let me give a Latin example. Character number 164
is the Euro sign in Latin-9 and the Currency sign in Latin-1.
If I now set the X11 resource Emacs.font to a Latin-9 font, then
Emacs will display Latin-1 characters with that font! This means, if
the HELLO file includes that currency sign, I would wrongly see a euro
sign, but C-u C-x = would tell me that Emacs thinks it is displaying
a Latin-1 character.
This is a misconfiguration of Emacs, and can be corrected.
Maybe you have a similar misconfiguration of Emacs.
(It is also arguably a bug since Emacs should know from the font name
that it is not a Latin-1 font. But not all fonts specify
"iso8859-15" in their names, so it is difficult to know.)
