Yes. In GNU Emacs 23 I've seen in the *Warnings* buffer hyper-links to
the characters not fitting into the specified encoding.
You could also search for the usual prefixes of UTF-{7,8,16} encoded
characters.

How can you map 100,000 or 200,000 characters to a very limited set of
100? This mapping would be candidate for the most successful
compression algorithm...
Besides, it's not sane to save a file in an encoding a when the file's
header tells its contents is in encoding b.
