Ahh; the old invisible octal character trick, number 222. ;-)
Seriously though, did your source happen to start on a Macintosh,
by any chance? They have the accented iacute at that char-point.
For ISO-Latin1 \222 is within the forbidden range, \200-\274 .
Perhaps LaTeX2HTML should automatically exclude such characters,
or at least report their existence (since there may have been
a definite purpose, as with the Macintosh accents).
All the best,
