Describes how to view the file encoding in Linux and convert the file encoding.

If you install the Linux operating system on a windows computer, you will find that the dual system also frequently encounters some problems. For example, if you operate files in windows in Linux, you may often encounter file Encoding Problems in Linux. In Windows, the default file format is GBK (gb2312), while Linux is generally a UTF-8. The following describes how to view the file encoding in Linux and convert the file encoding.

View File Encoding

You can view the file encoding in Linux in the following ways:

1. You can directly view the file encoding in Vim.

 
 

  
  
:set fileencoding 
 
 

The file encoding format is displayed.

If you only want to view files in other encoding formats or want to solve the problem of using Vim to View File garbled characters, you can

~ /Add the following content to the vimrc file:

 
 

  
  
set encoding=utf-8 fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp936 
 
 

In this way, vim can automatically identify the file encoding can automatically identify the UTF-8 or GBK encoding files), in fact, according to the fileencodings provided by the encoding list to try, if not find the appropriate encoding, it is opened in latin-1 (ASCII) encoding.

 
 

  
  
$ enca filename  
  
  
filename: Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8  
  
  
CRLF line terminators 
 
 

Note that enca does not recognize some GBK-encoded files very well:

 
 

  
  
Unrecognized encoding 
 
 

File encoding and conversion

1. Convert the file encoding directly in Vim. For example, convert a file to UTF-8 format.

 
 

  
  
:set fileencoding=utf-8 
 
 

2. enconv conversion file encoding, for example, to convert a GBK encoded file into UTF-8 encoding, the operation is as follows

 
 

  
  
enconv -L zh_CN -x UTF-8 filename 
 
 

3. iconv conversion. The iconv command format is as follows:

 
 

  
  
iconv -f encoding -t encoding inputfile 
 
 

For example, converting a UTF-8-encoded file into GBK Encoding

 
 

  
  
iconv -f GBK -t UTF-8 file1 -o file2 
 
 

In this way, you can view the file encoding in Linux and convert the file encoding.
