On another note, the vi tip would probably work if you could copy/paste the problematic sequence instead of typing in whatever it is you think you are seeing. The people here who are trying to help might not be using the same character set as you, so just to be unambiguous, it would help to know the character codes of the problematic character(s) in order to help you.
Hi Era,
That was amazing. Using the OD command i did get the octal character the value was \222 and it worked just fine. And yes the problem faced in vi was also the same as that you had predicted, the peple trying to help were unable to help as i had not identified the character code for the char ^Ò correctly.
Thanks once again.
