title: Unix : hyphen(-) getting replaced by <96>
body: <p>Recently, I have written one shell script in Notepad++ on Windows machine. But when I transferred this script to Linux box I observed that the commands containing - (dash or hyphen or minus) sign got replaced with &lt;96>. e.g. the original command is like below -</p>
  
  <pre><code>unzip -d $dir_to_unzip file.zip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when transferred to Linux server it became like below-</p>
  
  <pre><code>unzip &lt;96&gt;d $dir_to_unzip file.zip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not an Unix expert and not able to find what is causing this change and how to correct it. Any help would be really appreciated. </p>
