Different problem, but someone who knows about unicode will probably know this -
When I paste from microsoft documents into putty, characters will often be transformed to weird versions. Example - emdash is a different character to '-'. It comes through as a weird tilda character instead of a dash. Mmm. Frustating.
Is there a robust program you can run on putty to catch such type and flatten it to ascii?
