I have a txt file I want to convert to ePub format for my Sony PRS-T1, but it contains many instances of extended ASCII line-drawing characters. These show up on the reader as various letters with accents, etc, instead of lines. (E.g. ASCII value C4 hex should be a horizontal line.)

I assume this means the reader can't handle extended ASCII characters.

Can someone give me some advice about what to do to fix it? Is there a way to make the device display them properly? Or should I be doing a search and replace to change them to something else? If the latter, what should I change them to ?
