Description

Japanese text encodings can be converted between environments that use different Kanji code representations. It is useful for users handling older files, mail, terminals, or network data where encoding compatibility still matters.

Use it from a terminal or scripts when text appears garbled because of mismatched encodings. It changes text representation, so keep originals when converting important documents.
