enca

Detect and convert the encoding of text files. More information: https://github.com/nijel/enca.

• Detect file(s) encoding according to the system's locale:
  enca {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
• Detect file(s) encoding specifying a language in the POSIX/C locale format (e.g. zh_CN, en_US):
  enca -L {{language}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
• Convert file(s) to a specific encoding:
  enca -L {{language}} -x {{to_encoding}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
• Create a copy of an existing file using a different encoding:
  enca -L {{language}} -x {{to_encoding}} < {{original_file}} > {{new_file}}
