Unable to read special character from the file
Hello All,
We are getting files from sftp server through file transmission protocol & after transmission we are removing all the control M
(^M) characters from them.we are expecting various kind of special characters in the files.
we are tried removing '^M' characters through 'dos2unix' command then we are not able to read greek character 'mu' character,'dos2unix' is replacing 'mu' with some unknown boxes (actually it's changing ASCII value of mu to other ASCII value).

When we removed ^M from 'sed' command then : we are not able to read pound character (Britain currency).
The same problem exists 'tr' command.

Can anybody help us on handling the any special character in the files.

SYNOPSIS

     transmission-qt -h
     transmission-qt [options] [torrent-file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     transmission-qt is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central
     tracker to distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

OPTIONS

     -h --help
	     Show help options

     -g, --config-dir directory
	     Where to look for configuration files. This can be used to swap between using the cli, daemon, gtk, and qt clients.  See
	     http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.

     -m --minimized
	     Start minimized in notification area

     -p, --port port
	     Port to use when connecting to an existing session

     -r, --remote host
	     Connect to an existing session at the specified hostname

     -u, --username username
	     Username to use when connecting to an existing session

     -v, --version
	     Show version number and exit

     -w, --password password
	     Password to use when connecting to an existing session

     Multiple .torrent files may be added at startup by appending them on the command line. If transmission-qt is already running, the torrents
     will be added to the running instance.

		 Sets the default config-dir.

FILES

     ~/.config/transmission
	     The config-dir used when neither [TRANSMISSION_HOME] nor [-g] is specified.
