   Hello Sergey,   
      
   On Friday February 21 2025 03:30, you wrote to me:

   Hmm.. I see your point.   
      
   The program I wrote many years ago only detects the first appearance of a non   
   valid utf8 sequence in a line. It ignores any other invalid sequences in the   
   same line. So only the first occurence is replaced by a question mark, the   
   rest is copied as is.   
      
   I think I have found a work around.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
