My WAG is that it's not that "3D" is inserted wrongly, it's that "=" is the
escape sequence for the encoding used by some tool in your toolchain, and as
Kwan said, 3D is the ASCII code for "=". The whole sequence is
<escape><code> or in this case "=3D". Same effect for "=", though. All
character sets I can think of are the same as ASCII for 0-127.
Bad choice of escape character IMO, though I can't think of an ASCII
character which is
- not interpreted badly by any popular OS, and
- less frequently used
If it's only a few files that are affected, I guess you can do something
like
sed 's/=3D/=/g < file.html > temp
mv temp file.html
Other characters than "=" may be affected (especially if you used any
accented characters); I'd recommend grepping for "=" in the suspect files.
