for characters <= 0x7F (decimal 127--7 bits), you can find out what
they are in man ascii(7) on most linux and unix boxes. additionally,
on my linux box at least, there's a man iso_8859-1(7) (and others), that
have additional characters defined. from this:
240 160 A0 NO-BREAK SPACE
why your program is complaining.. i couldn't help much. the only idea
that i'd have is that the script writer for some reason expected your
locale to interpret those characters as normal space characters. have
you tried running this in a locale like en_US?
