When I copy-n-paste "—" into an emacs buffer, one of the (several) bytes
displayed is represented by '\224'. I would assume that others will
find the same. So then of course if I replace that byte, a subsequent
search for "—" will fail... and leave behind the other garbage characters.
Have you tried to copy-n-paste "—" into an emacs buffer? What do you
get?
