The cat -v is helpful to at least see where the nonprinting characters are in the file. It doesn't show me which character it actually is, but it is still helpful to see where they are located.
It's also useful to know that the correct term for these characters is "nonprinting characters." I wasn't even searching for the correct term... that helps.

Thank you for the reply vgersh99.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your reply, I don't think that will work for what I'm trying to accomplish. I don't want to actually modify the file at all, i just want to see what delimiters were used in the file (so that I can specify the correct delimiter in a bulk load statement for a db.)
They use these strange nonprinting characters as delimiters because they aren't likely to show up anywhere in the middle of a long unstructured text field.
I guess by definition if they are nonprinting characters, they won't display in the terminal window though... so I think my question has been answered.

legacy_coding(3X)legacy_coding(3X)NAME
use_legacy_coding - use terminal's default colors
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int use_legacy_coding(int level);
DESCRIPTION
The use_legacy_coding() function is an extension to the curses library. It allows the caller to change the result of unctrl, and suppress
related checks within the library that would normally cause nonprinting characters to be rendered in visible form. This affects only 8-bit
characters.
The level parameter controls the result:
0 the library functions normally, rendering nonprinting characters as described in unctrl.
1 the library ignores isprintf for codes in the range 160-255.
2 the library ignores isprintf for codes in the range 128-255. It also modifies the output of unctrl, showing codes in the range
128-159 as is.
RETURN VALUE
If the screen has not been initialized, or the level parameter is out of range, the function returns ERR. Otherwise, it returns the previ-
ous level: 0, 1 or 2.
PORTABILITY
This routine is specific to ncurses. It was not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code
depending on ncurses extensions be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
SEE ALSO
