Description

A command-line tool for detecting and converting text character encodings. It is useful when old documents, scripts, subtitles, or data files show broken accents or unreadable characters.

Use it to identify likely encodings and convert files to a more suitable one such as UTF-8. Detection is not perfect, so important files should be backed up before conversion.
