is this something that you are getting from a 'unicode' site?
The normal case is that it is something in the non-printable
section of 8-bit ascii....

probably not - what you might want to use if you have
the 'string of data' in a file is an
od -x filename
cf man od or hexdump....

you might want to peek at it with a
printf(" funny box is: %x \n", ord($char));
cf perldoc perlfunc
cf man ascii
if that returns a value above 7F then it is an 8-bit problem child.
But at least you would know it's 'ASCII' value...
