Subject: How to find the character breaking the file encoding?
Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2020 22:42:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a75yxc5q.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hello all,
I have a large UTF-8 file (about 1.5MB) to which I add stuff regularly.
Recently, Emacs started saving it as a binary file. I suspect I somehow
inserted a non-UTF-8 sequence of bytes there. Is there any way Emacs
can help me finding it (other than me manually bisecting the file until
I find the offending place)?
TIA,
--
