Subject: how to find encoding violations in Emacs buffer?
Date: 12 Dec 2006 10:18:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1165947493.201071.294760@l12g2000cwl.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hello,
from time to time, a buffer gets some spurious character in and Emacs
refuses to save it in the correct encoding. So I am presented with the
choice of other different encodings.
However, in most of the cases, I know that the file *should* be UTF-8
encoded. So I would rather like to find out where the offending
character is and correct it, instead of choosing a different encoding.
Is there any function/package/elisp hack to find/highlight characters
in a buffer that Emacs could not encode as UTF-8?
Thank you for any hint!
Riccardo
P.S. Currently running 22.0.90
