The file initially displayed well in emacs and after some edit in the translation software = it didn=E2=80=99t anymore and reverted to raw text. I got this message when= I tried to save in utf-8: utf-8-mac cannot encode these: \351 \350 \351 \342 \351 \234 \350 \3= 50 \311 \240 In short all the non ASCI had become unrecognized. However once I remove= d a \234 character,that should display as =C5=93, I could save it and reco= ver a correct display in emacs. Is there a way to quickly spot the offending character within emacs in such cases ? Alexandre
