 the non-UTF8 characters are confined to comments. You need to use the
 actual character encoding of the file (or convert it from that to UTF-8
 before running sed).

 > [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2012-August/019993.html Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia said] using the C
 locale was fine, and that's what we've been doing for months already,
 since the release of Mountain Lion, in dozens of ports. If this was wrong,
 then there's a bit of cleanup to be done. Perhaps a recipe in
 PortfileRecipes would be good too, in either case.

 If the reinplace is actually matching/changing what is written in that
 other locale, then it can cause a problem.  If you want to just skip over
 it and continue as sed has done in the past, then LC_CTYPE=C is ok.  The
 best solution would be to fix the file's encoding to UTF-8 and submit the
 change upstream, but that's not always a possibility as some files contain
 multiple encodings in embedded byte-streams on purpose (and thus you need
 to use the C LC_TYPE to deal with them).
