I found that a number of the exercises' instructions have characters that seem to have been wrongly decoded from their original UTF-8 meaning, using some other encoding, and then saved into the files. I've fixed all of the wrong characters I found but there could potentially be more.
I fixed them using iconv to convert the contents of the files from UTF-8 to Windows-1252 (which I guessed was the incorrectly used encoding at some point when the original data was collected) and then saved the correct characters back into the files, along with some manual changing.
