Since I run the conversion a hundred times a day, I've scripted it to quick
commands such as "Win+R > n" to bring up Notepad++.

Then I paste the copied text from source 1 (usually using "ctrl+v").
I do that for source 2, source 3, source 4, etc., as needed.
Each source can use completely different character sets.

Once I have the final copied source from a variety of inputs, 
then I select all the pasted text (usually using "ctrl+a").

Then I run the macro (which is defined as "ctrl+b").

Now everything is cleaned up.
A quick "ctrl+x" pulls it out of Notepad++ for pasting into the final
editing tool (which could be a script to run in Windows, for example).

Batch scripts hate curly quotes, for example.
