NAME iconv - Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another SYNOPSIS iconv -f encoding -t encoding inputfile DESCRIPTION The iconv program converts the encoding of characters in inputfile from one coded character set to another. The result is written to standard output unless otherwise specified by the --output option. Moreover, the original question still remains. Given a bunch of files, how do I determine their current encoding? Use file command perhaps?

Which encoding is the best, more portable, should be preferred...? Why I need this? I am trying to burn couple of files on Debian Etch using k3b (0.12.17). These files were originally located on another machine running Fedora Core 1 and I copied them onto the Debian machine. However when I am trying to burn them using k3b, I am getting the following error Encountered an incorrectly encoded filename x.map This may be caused by a system update which changed the local character set. You may use convmv (http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/) to fix the filename encoding. Could not determine size of resulting image file. However inorder to use convmv, I need to know the original encoding and figure out the final encoding and then apply convmv.
