You could:

* See if maybe joe or nano or vim or ??? editor will be more
accepting of the input.

* Use a hex editor to look for a byte-order-mark (BOM) at
the beginning of the file, I think some programs choke on them.
At least I've observed myself "fixing" a file by editing out the BOM.

The BOM indicates whether the text will representated with
the bits in little or big endian order.

Perhaps Dr. Duck will shine some light on the subject, or
superuser stackoverflow communities or those among our unicode literati.
