I usually find a good first step is to run the file through something
that will give you a hex dump (i.e. xxd or similar) and so I *know* the
actual bytes in the file rather than relying on how they may be
interpreted somewhere else along the chain. Find the hex-byte(s) of your
suspect character and look it up.

Since you are in vim, it may be worth checking ":set termencoding",
":set encoding" and ":set fileencoding".

Cheers,
Steve
