It works for me. Perhaps you  didn't enter the characters as characters?
You cannot just  type in print="0x80" you actually need  to compose that
characater.  To compose  characters in  vi you  can use  ctrl-x, so  for
example  to get  0x80 you  would  type "ctrl-x  8 0"  and the  resulting
character is what should be in the print command.

See the vi(1) man page for control-X.
