In both the *.el file and in the *scratch* buffer
default-enable-multibyte-characters is t.
Here's the entirety of the *.el file:
;Replace goofy MS chars with latin1 equivalents.
;You can, of course, add to the list of chars.
; Multi-byte strings such as the one below should be toward
; the top of the list so that single-byte replacements don't
; cut them up, making subsequent searches for them impossible.
;"" => "--"
; Also, to enter the escaped numbers, e.g. "\221", do
; C-q 2 2 1 RETURN.
;To discover the code for a new (garbage) char to be replaced,
;put the point over it and do "C-x="; the first code returned in
;the minibuffer tells you the escaped number you want to replace.
