is there a way to get them displayed/processed well?



Figure out what encoding the text is supposed to be in, make sure your 
'encoding' option can represent all the desired characters, and save/load the 
file in the correct 'fileencoding'.

:help 'encoding'
:help 'fileencoding'
:help 'fileencodings'
:help multibyte

Yes, ping, it looks like your file is in UTF-8 but your Vim is interpreting it in Latin1 (and by Latin1 I mean as defined by ISO under standard ISO-8859-1, not the similar but just ever so slightly different encoding called Windows-1252, or on Windows "code page 1252" and which on Microsoft machines is often confused with Latin1):

Encoding  display (hex)           (description)
Latin1    â       0xE2            small Latin letter a with circumflex
          <80>    0x80            <control>
          <99>    0x99            <control>

UTF-8     ’       OxE2 0x80 0x99  U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

N.B. The two <control> characters are nonprinting (they have no display equivalent in Latin1). They might be regarded as Alt-Ctrl-@ and Alt-Ctrl-Y respectively.


So I recommend the same readings as Ben already did, especially the last one.


Best regards,
Tony.
