In many cases, the most obvious way to solve such a problem is to save the file, open a terminal, move to the directory where the file resides (with cd …) and use iconv similarly to:
iconv -f iso88591 -t utf8 fileToConvert.txt > convertedFile.txt
Unfortunately, finding out how to start a terminal is not always easy in today's GUI's!
Here, you are given the opportunity to achieve such a conversion locally. Choose a character set (charset, encoding) in the list below and choose the file you wish to convert. The JavaScript program linked to by this page will try to make your browser convert the file to UTF-8. If the conversion succeeds, you will be given the opportunity to save the converted file.
You do not need any Internet connection to achieve this conversion. You can save this page locally together with (in the same directory than) the JavaScript program it is linked to and open it in a browser to achieve the conversions even without any Internet connection.
