If you can list all the allowable characters including carriage return and/or linefeed, then you (or a friend like me) could write a C program to read each character, test it for inclusion in that set, and report on any characters (character ascii/unicode value and position in the file) that aren't in the set. I know nothing about unicode, so I'd need to be brought up to speed on that before writing the program. I assume unicode is a 16 bit representation of characters.
