The iconv command used is:

iconv -f CP1252 -t UTF-8 latin1.sql > utf8.sql

It looks like there are character sequenzes in the database which iconv cannot 
deal with for conversion.

Since iconv does not help here I thought it might be possible to replace the 
characters which are displayed with the marker <hex>, e. g. <96> which is a 
dash symbol.

However searching in vim for /<96> doesn't find the pattern, which makes me 
think that what I see in the terminal might be something different inside 
vim. I just don't know what to look for.


Cheers,
Andreas
