Question Quick VI question

This "SHOULD" be a simple question,
but looking through several books has turned up nothing,
so I turn once again to the experts!!

How do you vi a file so that you can see special characters.

I believe my /etc/passwd file is being corrupted during an upgrade process, however the files "look" the same. I need to
vi /etc/passwd to see if there are any special characters being
thrown in.

Thanks
Recon
