Thank you Mike!
prename -v 's/\xe2\x80\xac//' *file.ext got me going. Didn't know about hd
before - duh!
And I just was not really on the right scent with the unicode. It is composed
of three bytes, not two as I asumed.
With two renames, one after another I was able to eliminate the control
characters.
It was all a bug of FlashGot 1.3.0.4 in connection with curl.
FlashGot 1.3.0.5 does not have this problem anymore, instead it is stripping
the last character of the filename (not the extension) now. I filed a bug
report.
Thnx again
