I get the error message

Unicode char \u8:  not set up for use with LaTeX.

Now I suspect that this is due to an invisible character. The command :set list doesn't show anything suspicious and :set display+=uhex doesn't seem to work for me. This post lets me assume that I also have something fishy going on.

Is there a way in vim to show everything that is in my file that is not a printable character? I am using MacVim Version 7.3 (53).

Since this is a question about vim, perhaps it belongs on SuperUser? – Willie Wong Feb 22 '11 at 23:08
@Willie Wong: Is there a way for me to migrate it over there? Or has a moderator to do that for m? – Lucas Feb 23 '11 at 0:02
I think the fastest way is to do it manually (i.e. post a new question there and copy&paste from this one). There is no way to migrate it without moderators (that I know of). And our mods all live in Europe, so they are probably all asleep right now. – Caramdir Feb 23 '11 at 0:26
