NAME
unutf8 - Translate UTF8 encodings in text to legible text
SYNOPSIS
unutf8 [options]
DESCRIPTION
unutf8 is a filter that translates UTF8 encodings in text to legible
text. The data to be translated will be taken either from a file (if one
was named on the command line) or from standard input.
In some cases, the input might have to be first passed through the
cat -v command.
This script does not convert all UTF8 characters. It translates those
commonly encountered by the author.
Character translations are taken from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252.
OPTIONS
unutf8 takes the following options:
- -format
Format the translated lines so they're broken into a lines of a set length.
The actual effect is to pass the translated lines to the fmt command.
If the -width option is not given, then a default line width of 72
characters will be used.
- -width linewidth
Specify a rough line width to pass to the fmt command. This value will
be passed to the fmt command. This option implies the -format
option.
- -Version
Display the version information for unutf8.
- -help
Display a help message.
