Well, instead of invalid unicode all over the place, I get \xXX. E.g.
"\x80" instead of some binary symbol inside the string. I was
recompiling an old project with an inline font, and since it was written
long ago, before I had switched my locale to UTF8, it somehow broke when
saving - so most text got garbage. That's why I had to use xf2pcx and
dat2c to import a similiar font to fix the program again. Using the \xXX
notion means it is independent of the used encoding of the .c file.
