Vim claims to be able to do Farsi, Chinese, and other languages with non
western character sets & non western text flow, but personally I've never
had to deal with either. Still, if the original poster is a Vi users,
upgrading to Vim is worthwhile for a variety of reasons, including this.
I don't know how much it would help here, but Vim allows you to say:
:set fileformat=unix
to automagically convert line endings from $whatever to Unix. Other
options there are of course
:set fileformat=dos
:set fileformat=mac
or, to figure out which one you're currently looking at,
:set fileformat?
But again, none of this is likely to help with anything other than line
endings. Extended character sets are an exercise left for the reader.
