i'm trying to read a file that i'm told is encoded in UTF-8. the
output of "file" on it says "Non-ISO extended-ASCII English text"
(it's not actually english, but that doesn't matter). I can't read it
as is, so i'm trying to convert it to ISO-8859-1 or whatever the
standard is that i'm used to with iconv.
following the manpage, i get this:
iconv -f UTF-8 -f ISO_8859-1 stream.lower.ir > new_file.txt
but this still appears with unreadable characters.
does this mean that the file i'm trying to read from isn't actually
UTF-8? how do i find out what it is, if it's not?
thanks,
</nori>
