Nanduedi,

Are asking for an email if a "special character" was found in ECEPYO.dat?

I would also separate the function of checking for "special characters" from the function of removing them, with
Code:
#!/bin/bash

SDIR=/mnt/G/Inbound/Pre-Prod/GEM/From_O/Scriptprocess 
FILE=ECEPYO.dat
ADDR=xyz@gmail.com

cd $SDIR || exit 1
test -f ${FILE} || exit 2
test -s ${FILE} || exit 0

TEMP=$(mktemp)
LIST=$(mktemp)
trap "rm -f ${TEMP} ${LIST}" EXIT

for special in ’ \\ é à — –  \`; do
  grep -n "${special}" ${FILE} > ${LIST}
  
  if [[ -s ${LIST} ]]; then
    echo
    echo "${special}": $(cut -d: -f1 ${LIST})
  fi >> ${TEMP}
done

if [[ -s ${TEMP} ]]; then
  mailx -s "SpecialCharacters were found" ${ADDR} < ${TEMP}
fi

(! untested !)

` and \ are "special characters"?

I do have to admit to some trepidations. The directory the script changes into is a subdirectory of /mnt? This is typically used for temporary mounts.

Why the while loop? Your script only processes a single file: ECEPYO.dat.

Simplifying your original script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

FDIR=/mnt/G/Inbound/Pre-Prod/GEM/From_O
SDIR=$FDIR/Scriptprocess 
FILE=ECEPYO.dat

cd $SDIR || exit 1
test -f ${FILE} || exit 0

sed -e 's/’/ /g' \
    -e 's/\\/ /g' \
    -e 's/é/ /g' \
    -e 's/Ã//g' \
    -e 's/—/ /g' \
    -e 's/–/-/g' \
    -e 's/Â//g' \
    -e 's/`/ /g' $FILE >> $FDIR/$FILE

cut

CUT(1)                                                             User Commands                                                            CUT(1)

NAME

       cut - remove sections from each line of files

SYNOPSIS

       cut OPTION... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output.

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -b, --bytes=LIST
              select only these bytes

       -c, --characters=LIST
              select only these characters

       -d, --delimiter=DELIM
              use DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter

       -f, --fields=LIST
              select only these fields;  also print any line that contains no delimiter character, unless the -s option is specified

       -n     (ignored)

       --complement
              complement the set of selected bytes, characters or fields

       -s, --only-delimited
              do not print lines not containing delimiters

       --output-delimiter=STRING
              use STRING as the output delimiter the default is to use the input delimiter

       -z, --zero-terminated
              line delimiter is NUL, not newline

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       Use  one,  and only one of -b, -c or -f.  Each LIST is made up of one range, or many ranges separated by commas.  Selected input is written
       in the same order that it is read, and is written exactly once.  Each range is one of:

       N      N'th byte, character or field, counted from 1

       N-     from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line

       N-M    from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field

       -M     from first to M'th (included) byte, character or field
