Er, right. That's what I meant, actually, but I guess I wasn't thinking
much at that moment :^). And since I only tested this with an iconv'ed
ISO-8859-7 text to UTF-8, I didn't even notice...

Cool. But when was that addded? iconv (GNU libc) 2.2.4 as included in SuSE 7.3's glibc-2.2.4-64.i386.rpm does not support it. RH7.2 also has 2.2.4, and also lacks JAVA (one never knows what patches vendors add...). I don't see any support for JAVA in cvs either, though I've only browsed the tree. -JimC -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/

Unless you regard ISO-8859-1 as a synonym to US-ASCII, '255' has to
be '127' :-)

Try "iconv -f UTF-8 -t JAVA". That's nice to know. BTW, in case somebody wants to 'torture' her/his computer/processor for this simple task doable by a Perl one-liner or iconv, (s)he can run the following: native2ascii -encoding UTF-8 file.utf8 file.java native2ascii -reverse -encoding UTF-8 file.java file.utf8 native2ascii comes with JDK.

Just like in the case of the opposite conversion, this conversion can also
be easily achieved with an one-liner. The following seems to be able to do
the job:
perl -ne 'for (unpack "U*", $_) { printf $_ > 255 ? "U+%04X" : "%c", $_ }'

UTF-8 file to ASCII file converter
I already have a perl script (thanks to Oyvind A. Holm) that converts an ascii file with U+ unicode codes to an utf-8 file. Now I would like to do the oposite, convert an utf-8 file to an ascii file, each utf-8 character would be encoded back to U+.
