[vtk-developers] Non utf-8 character detection

[David Gobbi]

Hi Bill,

Those were utf-8 left & right quotes that I was replacing with straight
ASCII quotes.  So I was just searching for non-ASCII chars (with grep) and
then replacing them by hand. (
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/3442)

The search for non-ASCII chars was done like this:

  grep -n "[^ -~]" */*/*.h

The unix "file" command can tell whether a file is utf-8 verses some other
encoding.

 - David
