Not sure; I'd have to look. It would probably be quite easy to print the
column number, as I think that information is already passed from the
parser to the front-end; the offending line's content, however, is not.

The "c2" is probably the start of a multi-byte UTF-8 character,
representing any of the Unicode codepoints from U+00A0 (c2 a0) to U+00BF
(c2 bf). Hot candidates are NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0, which looks just
like a regular space) or SOFT HYPHEN (U+00AD, which may look just like a
regular hyphen or be entirely invisble), or maybe CEDILLA (U+00B8, which
might resemble a comma).
