Re: Single unrecognized character wrecks entire display

Thank you Peter for your answer.

The problem is that it names a full list as bad characters, when only one.
   utf-8-mac cannot encode these: \351 \350 \351 \342 \351 \234 \350 \350
\311 \240
How can I spot the true non utf-8 without trying them all?

Windows, c'est un peu comme le beaujolais nouveau: à chaque nouvelle
cuvée on sait que ce sera dégueulasse, mais on en prend quand même, par
masochisme.
Masochisme ou obligation ?
