Sometimes we have a UTF8 charset file and we want to convert it in other type or viceversa. There's a FreeBSD tool that helps use converting between text file charsets, called iconv: The following command will convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 charset: iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 portughese.txt > utf8file.txt iconv utility is installed with libiconv port. If you don't have iconv installed (which is rare because many other FreeBSD packages/ports will require libiconv library) then you can install libiconv from ports: cd /usr/ports/converters/libiconv make install clean rehash For more info see iconv man page: man iconv |
