hi,
I know that it has been discussed before -- but I have yet to find the command or step(s) to effectively translate high-ascii characters -- like emdashes and smart quotes -- that were written in Word tr html.
I still have stuff like the following:
s in three statesâ€"New Hampshire, Washington, and Coloradoâ€"that are
any tips?

hmm… how do you get that text? and what do you expect to be left with? It looks like mangled characters due to encoding issues.
The strip non-ASCII though should remove them, although here you maybe want spaces inserted. But I would investigate the process that results in these characters, because pasting curly quotes from Word or similar surely should be working gracefully.

these should be emdashes, I think
