For legacy issues all our html is vanilla ascii. To find non-ascii my workflow has been:

 zap gremlins, replace with code
 search for the resulting hex codes
use each in a find/replace to replace all such occurrences with their mnemonic or numeric equivalent

Why preserve such a bad "legacy"? All you need to do is save the files as UTF-8 and declare UTF-8 in the headers. The use of "mnemonic or numeric equivalents" is absolutely unnecessary and often leads to quite anomalous results, especially when multiple-byte characters are involved. What you are doing is a quite unnecessary hang-over from the 1990s.
