File containing special characters

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

I am facing challenges in order to transfer a file from windows to unix box,the file contains a special character '�' ,now when I am transferring the file from windows to unix that special character converted to something else like '�' ,another thing I have noticed that the hardware is Linux,but same thing when I am trying in AIX it is transferred successfully.
Can anyone please suggest any fixes.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prarat

Well this seems to be more a CHARSET issue... on UNIX you are not using the same character set as windows... to solve would be to know what is used both sides and convert the ones you want changed... or use the same both sides... Could also have something to do with LOCALE or NLS... to solve is the same...
