Works fine for me in dash as well as in od in a console with cp437:

  $ od -tx1
  <alt-1><^J><^D>
  ☺
  0000000 e2 98 ba 0a
  0000004
  $ od -tx1
  <alt-1><bs><^J><^D>
  0000000 0a
  0000001
  $ od -tx1
  <alt-254><^J><^D>
  ■
  0000000 e2 96 a0 0a
  0000004
  $ od -tx1
  <alt-254><bs><^J><^D>
  0000000 0a
  0000001
