Dave,
There are no characters outside the UTF-8 format. But of course a file
on the file system is just bytes and if you tell Eclipse those bytes are
a UTF-8 encoding and they actually aren't (e.g., Cp1252 on Windows) the
results of loading might look/be wrong. It's not clear how you are
doing the changes, but generally you need to load (open the editor) with
the actual encoding, use the Edit menu to change the encoding to UTF-8,
and then save. If you're on Windows and are using the default
encoding, and don't have any characters above ASCII 128, that encoding
overlaps with UTF-8...
