Question Replace hex values using sed command
File lalo.txt contains: Á

I need to replace Á by A using sed command.

Code:
od -x lalo.txt

0000000 c10a
0000002

sed -e 's/\xc1\x0a/A/g' lalo.txt > lalo2.txt

Also tried:
Code:
sed -e 's/\xc3\x81/A/g' lalo.txt > lalo2.txt


Output file lalo2.txt still has Á

Unix version: SunOS 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v

Any input? Thank you all!
