Question

I have file that consists various Unicode characters. I want to convert all those unicode characters to UTF-8. For example characters:

\xC3\x9C to Ü
\xC3\x96 to Ö
\xC3\xBC to ü
\xC3\xA4 to ä
and so on

I want to do it with one command and without install some extra stuff. I want to do it in bash script.

Answer 1

You can use the echo command:

$ echo -e '\xC3\x9C'
Ü

Or use the printf command

$ printf '\xC3\x9C'
Ü
