Hi all,
I have a problem with character encoding and wonder if someone who deals with
this sort of thing more often than I do can help.
On my linux system I have two files that report as "Unicode text, UTF-8 text"
when using file.
While one file correctly displays é (e with an acute accent) the other file
displays an A with a tilde above followed by the copyright symbol.
Obviously, other characters are also displayed incorrectly.
I've tried various iterations of iconv to try and correct the output of the
misprinting file but with no success.
A hexdump shows that the incorrectly displaying file has the following
c3 83 c2 a9
Whereas the correctly displayed file has
c3 a9
So, I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this using some native program rather
than having to do search and replace.
Thanks,
---
