The easiest way to find out is just answer 'a' when fossil is giving the
warning. Your file will then automatically be converted from cp1252 to
valid UTF-8 and the commit is aborted.
Doing a diff then shows exactly which characters were causing
the warning.

You can safely suppress these warnings, Fossil never does something
bad with binary files.
