In ASCII the character 0F is "shift in", a control character to resume the
default character set. (at least it was on the PDP-11. I have no idea what
it is used for today) It is entered as ^O, so maybe you tried to open a
file at that spot and accidentally entered this character. Many text
editors will not display control characters, but if you move forward over
the spot with the arrow keys, you should need an extra keypress to move
over this spot.
If you erase this char with hexedit, you should be ok again.
