查看文件编码格式

How can I see which encoding is used in a file？ （查看文件编码格式）

• vi模式下

查看
:set fileencoding
设置
:set fileencoding xxx  

• file命令：
  1. check a file encoding

  file -bi [filename]
  

Option	Description
-b, --brief	Don’t print filename (brief mode)
-i, --mime	Print filetype and encoding

2. change a file fileencoding

$ iconv -f [encoding] -t [encoding] -o [newfilename] [filename]

Option	Description
-f, --from-code	Convert a file’s encoding from charset
-t, --to-code	Convert a file’s encoding to charset
-o, --output	Specify output file (instead of stdout)

Change a file’s encoding from CP1251 (Windows-1251, Cyrillic) charset to UTF-8:

$ iconv -f cp1251 -t utf-8 in.txt

Change a file’s encoding from ISO-8859-1 charset to and save it to out.txt:

$ iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o out.txt in.txt

Change a file’s encoding from ASCII to UTF-8:

$ iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii -o out.txt in.txt

Change a file’s encoding from UTF-8 charset to ASCII:

llegal input sequence at position: As UTF-8 can contain characters that can’t be encoded with ASCII, the iconv will generate the error message “illegal input sequence at position” unless you tell it to strip all non-ASCII characters using the -c option.

$ iconv -c -f utf-8 -t ascii -o out.txt in.txt

You can lose characters: Note that if you use the iconv with the -c option, nonconvertible characters will be lost.

3. List All charsets
   List all the known charsets in your Linux system:

 iconv -l
