I'm not certain what 'converted from hexadecimal to text' means if this is the answer. I can get a lot of different answers, but that one isn't among them. Also, the character translation isn't square. In decimal, where 39 is an apostrophe (not a single open or close quote), R and S are 82 and 83, which are not represented.
Interpreting the original number as decimal gives "0x01" as the last byte, which can't map to 39 no matter how hard I try. Interpreting it as hexadecimal gives "0x09"; no better. Having 9s, it can't be octal. As far as I can tell, MrMARVINMan's post is all smoke that doesn't even bother with mirrors.

An average ASCII code is about 75. To reach this sum, you'd need about 128 billion characters. Even if they averaged 128 (just above the highest true ASCII value), it would take 75 billion characters. Doesn't seem likely!
