Description:

convert 8 bit character encoding in file names and text content to UTF-8

The mixconv utility reads a mixed-encoding text file, analyzes each line to determine whether it is in 7-bit ASCII, an 8-bit encoding, UTF-8 or WTF-8, converts everything to UTF-8 and prints the result to standard output. . The dirconv utility scans a directory structure, analyzes each file and directory name to determine whether it is in 7-bit ASCII, an 8-bit encoding, UTF-8 or WTF-8, converts everything to UTF-8, and renames the files and directories accordingly.
