Enca
Enca detects the encoding of text files, on the basis of knowledge of their language. It can also convert them to other encodings, allowing you to recode files without knowing their current encoding. It supports most of Central and East European languages, and a few Unicode variants, independently on language.

Hello
i experiment a bug converting UCS-2 to UTF16
I perform to do the conversion with gedit easily.
Here is the file who cannot be converted :
rapidshare.com/files/4...
It contains chinese.
If somebody provides a patch, it can be easily merged, as I myself have no knowledge about Arabic, I will not implement it myself.
Hello,
According to man linux.die.net/man/1/enca, Enca is NOT supporting any Arabic encoding. Do you have any plan to have ability to detect any one of these: ISO-8859-6, Windows-1256, IBM-864 and MacArabic?
Best regards,
Xun
