## iconv

    iconv -f from_encoding -t to_encoding [file]

Convert the contents of `file` from one character set (`from_encoding`) to another (`to_encoding`). If the destination character set provides no equivalent for a character, it is converted to an underscore (_). Supported conversion sets are listed in the directory /usr/lib/iconv.
