I have text files with some nonsense characters in it, so different text editors put different nonsense symbols, and, worse, the application that should be able to read these files doesn't.
With xxd, the nonsense characters show as "efbfbd", while they should be "c2a7" (the 'paragraph character', §).
E.g., this is a line of xxd output containing the weird character :
Now, is there a way to change the "efbfbd" into "c2a7" ? Preferably with awk, since that's what I'm using to treat these files with for other purposes.

Hi there!
I'm new in this and probably is a quite simple task but I still cannot manage to do it:
I have to read some files line by line and then change the input format into another one, but the very first step is to replace the empty variables by error values. I mean, each line looks like:... (2 Replies)

dadadodo(1) General Commands Manual dadadodo(1)NAME
dadadodo - exterminate all rational thought
SYNOPSIS
dadadodo [ options ] [ input-files ]
DESCRIPTION
dadadodo is a program that analyses texts for Markov chains of word probabilities and then generates random sentences based on those proba-
bilities. Sometimes these sentences are nonsense, but sometimes they cut right through to the heart of the matter and reveal hidden mean-
ings.
OPTIONS
dadadodo accepts the following options:
-c, -count n
Generate n sentences.
-h, -help
Show summary of options and exit.
-html Output HTML instead of plain text.
-l, -load file
Load compiled data from file ('-' for standard input).
-o, -output file
Save compiled data in file ('-' for standard output).
-p, -pause s
Delay s seconds between paragraphs.
-w, -columns columns
Format output for a device columns character cells in width. If not specified, the value of the environment variable COLUMNS is
used to determine the width. If that variable is not defined, a width of 72 is assumed.
NOTES
Non-option arguments are input files. These should be text files, but may be mail folders or HTML. MIME messages are handled sensibly.
When no output file is specified, sentences will be generated from the input data directly. However, loading a saved file is far faster
than re-parsing the text files each time.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS
Determines the width (in character cells) of the output if the -w, -columns option is not used. If not set, a width of 72 is
assumed.
