File garbled characters in linux

File garbled characters in linux-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. For details, refer to the following section. On the Linux system today, I downloaded a. rar compressed file, decompressed the file, and opened the file. All the contents are garbled. I found the reasons and solutions on the Internet, and now I want to sort them out.

Garbled characters occur because some files in the compressed files are named in Chinese. In windows, the Chinese encoding is generally gbk, while in linux, the Chinese encoding is generally utf8, so the files normally opened in windows may be garbled in linux.

Solution: Use the iconv command to convert the file content encoding. For example, I have a file named "common linux commands" which can be opened normally in windows, but garbled characters may occur when opened in linux. The solution is to enter the file on the terminal:

Iconv-f gbk-t utf8 commands are commonly used in Linux. txt> commonly used in Linux. txt. utf8

Then open the file "linuxlinuxcommon command .txt. utf8", and solve the garbled problem. (Author: Daisy)
