Hi Andrei,

Well, if iconv fails, then it means that those characters are not from
CP1252. Or maybe you've provided wrong options to iconv :)
The iconv command used is:
iconv -f CP1252 -t UTF-8 latin1.sql > utf8.sql
It looks like there are character sequenzes in the database which iconv cannot
deal with for conversion.
Since iconv does not help here I thought it might be possible to replace the
characters which are displayed with the marker <hex>, e. g. <96> which is a
dash symbol.
However searching in vim for /<96> doesn't find the pattern, which makes me
think that what I see in the terminal might be something different inside
vim. I just don't know what to look for.
Cheers,

When Vim displays <96> in blue, it isn't less-than, nine, six, greater-than (4
bytes) but 0x96 (one byte). You can search for it by hitting (in Normal mode)
slash, Ctrl-V, x-for-X-Ray, nine, six, Enter. What you'll see on the
command-line may be one of
/<96>
/~V
or something else but it should find your <96> bytes.
See ":help i_CTRL-V_digit" which applies in both Insert/Replace and
Command-line modes.
Best regards,
Tony.
