nkf: Convert to UTF-8 encoding.
$ nkf -w ${filename-txt}
try on your machine
The command "nkf -w ${filename-txt}" is used to convert a text file from a specific character encoding to Unicode.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "nkf" stands for "Network Kanji Filter", which is a tool used to convert text between various character encodings.
- "-w" is an option used with nkf that specifies the output character encoding as Unicode (UTF-8).
- "${filename-txt}" is a placeholder for the filename or path of the text file you want to convert, with the ".txt" extension. You need to replace "${filename-txt}" with the actual filename or path of your text file.
By running this command, the nkf tool will read the specified text file and convert its encoding to Unicode (UTF-8), and the converted content will be displayed on the console or saved to another file, depending on how you use the command.
