How to search for special ascii characters( like symbol 'DC1') in a file using notepad ++ or any text editors.
Inserting ASCII characters To insert an ASCII character, press and hold down ALT while typing the character code. For example, to insert the degree (º) symbol, press and hold down ALT while typing 0176 on the numeric keypad. You must use the numeric keypad to type the numbers, and not the keyboard.
In Notepad++, if you go to menu Search → Find characters in range → Non-ASCII Characters (128-255) you can then step through the document to each non-ASCII character. Be sure to tick off "Wrap around" if you want to loop in the document for all non-ASCII characters.
