Your one-byte character is being represented using two bytes in UTF-8.

UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding, and characters may be represented
with up to four bytes (depending on the code point).

It's a fluke of the UTF-8 design that, for many Latin-1 characters,
looking at the UTF-8 representation in a Latin-1 system appears to
show the desired character plus random junk.

If you looked at the output with a UTF-8-aware viewer, you'd only see
the one character.
