I understand your point, but we have a little piece of documentation that describes the character as ALT-248 instead of ALT-0248, and for years under Windows I've gotten the em-dash (or a reasonable facsimile thereof with ALT-151). I just tried both of those characters with out success a moment ago. Here's what the hexdump has told me: the Windows text file containing the character gives me hex b0 for the character, but the Fedora version of the text file gives me a 16-bit number "c2 b0" as copied from my terminal window. So it looks like it could be an 8-bit vs 16-bit (UTF-8 vs UTF-16?) issue...

I don't think so since UTF16 is quite uncommon. I'll have to check it out though.

Any further ideas on how to get around this?

Well, if you can, maybe you can try sniffing the wire with wireshark to see what is really being sent?
