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
