I had to use OCR to get the text of a very large script I did not want to type by hand.
I have multiple lines like this
echo "<91>ps <97>eF|grep...
It should read;
echo "`ps -eF|grep...
Even with ":set list" the only thing I see is <91> and <97>
I tried this and other ASCII characters to insert the back quote:
sed -e 's/'$(echo "97")'/`/g'
to no avail.
Either I'm doing this all wrong or using the wrong control values.
Can you suggest something else?

Looks like cp1252 (or similar). See What characters do not directly map from Cp1252 to UTF-8?. Use recode to repair it...

Thanks. Unfortunately recode isn't available on my system (neither is installing it)
