By "the file here in your post" do you mean the text of the email per se?

Good to know that there are no problems in my files.

Ok. I understood my mistake. Now, grep $'\xc2\xa0' .XCompose doesn't return the line.

Yes, I am. Also, I don't understand the conversion between the two. The \x tells that two charcters that follow it are hexadecimals and \u tells that the following four hexdecimals are to be interpreted as unicode values. But, how do you derive \xc2\xa0 for \u00A0?

hexdump -C .XCompose gives
00000000  3c 57 3e 20 3a 20 22 54  68 69 73 20 72 65 70 6c  |<W> : "This repl|
00000010  61 63 65 73 20 57 22 0a                           |aces W".|
00000018

I am attaching the .XCompose file,; so, I am not redirecting the output to a file and attaching.

Thanks again for all your time and effort,
ajith
