Can't convert 7bit ASCII to UTF-8

Hello,

I am trying to convert a 7bit ASCII file to UTF-8.

I have used iconv before though it can't recognize it for some reason and says unknown file encoding.

When I used ascii2uni package with different package, ./ascii2uni -a K -a I -a J -a X test_file > new_test_file

It still doesn't do the job and file size becomes zero and charset still comes as unknown/unrecognized.

I would really grateful if anyone could provide more info on this.

Thanks in advance,
Mondy

7-bit ASCII is UTF-8. See: UTF-8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
