               Character   ASCII & Unicode Value (decimal)                 [...]       [...]                  '           96

It should say:

Notes:

The wrong character is used in the left column: code point 96 corresponds to "Grave Accent", not "Apostrophe".

It should say:

      Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=foo      Content-Disposition: inline      --foo      Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii      Hi Mom      --foo      Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-7      Content-transfer-encoding: base64      Jjo=      --foo      Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii      !      --foo--

Notes:

The charset name for this RFC is UTF-7, not UNICODE-2-0.
--VERIFIER NOTES--

This is an example that's specifically introduced with, "As an alternative to use of UTF-7," and quite intentionally uses a charset other than UTF-7.
