I have an imported HTML document that has some strange codes for em
dashes and the like. The em dash, for example, displays as a \227 --
how can I search and replace these codes?
I tried to copy the code and then do C-s C-y to paste it, but it
doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to do isearch-forward-selection
or similar?

There ought to be a shell script to do all of this, but until there is,
here's what I do in emacs:
M-x replace-string C-q 227 RETURN - RETURN
This should qualify as a FAQ... or?
