     You mean é? Oh, it is perfectly printable. It's even on my  
keyboard (as unshifted 2), along with è, ç, à and ù. Ah, American  
cultural assumption... ^^


     Denise: If it is what I think it is, you may want to have a look  
at the first 2 characters of the string, which if I recall are  
printable, and should point you toward the module you have to use to  
solve that one.
