i have a bunch of strange bytes that when produced on a certain website will show some nice graphics and certain characters. when output on my terminal i get some garbage plus those characters. i suspect this is UTF-8 encoded. i am looking for some command line tools that can run on Linux that can help do encoding and decoding of UTF-8 to make it easy and correct to figure this out. i have tried coding some scripts of my own but am unsure if i am doing the encoding/decoding correctly. a good website with UTF-9 tools might be the way to go. anyone know of a good one?
