Try to open them in BBEdit as UTF-8, or use "Reopen using Encoding" 
from the file menu once open. If the unicode is invalid you'll get a 
warning.

(I would also recommend the application Cyclone 
(http://free.abracode.com/cyclone/Cyclone_Read_Me.html) to do batch 
encoding conversions, much less likely to cause errors).
