orgmode 9.6

Using the included orgmode 9.52 on emacs 28.1 for much of my daily work,
university professor.  At the end of the day I quit emacs, saving all my
work for the day in a very large folder tree that includes all my working
files and this is rsync'ed onto a usb disk that is a backup and is
sync'ed to a disk on my home computer and I have redundant backups. About
one month ago upgraded to orgmode  9.6 using elpa  and about a week ago I
started getting an encoding warning when i would tell emacs I wanted to
quit. The warning indicated the offending characters but they were in an
unformatted buffer on the screen and I became fatigued trying to correct
them.  If I save the file as raw-text I preserve all the org formatting and
structure.  I upgraded ny home computer to 9.6 and this started happening
on it also.  I have returned my current computers to the included org 9.52
and the problem has stopped.  Can anyone report a similar issue, a cause
and a solution.
Thank you

Thanks for reporting!

Did you notice which file this happened to?
If you did, does opening only that file, editing it, and closing trigger
the issue?

We need more information to understand what is happening.

That will happen not only in the Org mode.

What do you see on screen, which are the problematic characters?

Just to remind you the encoding warning does not occur with the same files
using the emacs 28.1 with orgmode 9.52 included.  The characters that
trigger the warning are ones that are not found in UTF-8 and since I do a
lot of editing of web documents and do not correct them until final
output.  orgmode has ignored them in the past (BEFORE 9.6) and  I am happy
with that as long as the files do not become corrupted.  Can one set the
encoding in orgmode as not having to configure file in real time would be
helpful.

I remember that I was solving those issues by other editor that
automatically recognized those wrong characters and offered me to
normalize it.

I believe that editor was the `mousepad'.

Here is what I suggest to you:

1. Make a copy of the file that has the errors.

2. Try opening it with the `mousepad' and see if it is offering you
correction.

3. Save it with the `mousepad'.

4. Open it with Emacs and see if it works at that point.
