I have a large text file, supposed to be platform-independent, which
has had several characters replaced with characters that only make
sense to Microsoft. I've been fixing them with a text editor, but can't
tell if the file is completely OK yet. I don't know what might have
been done to this file that I haven't noticed yet.
Is there some simple unix way to either
check that all funny characters have been removed,
or better,
to get a list of the characters that might still need replacing?
