maybe this would help: utf8-migration-tool
This tool seems to work either on the whole /home/user directory or on the
whole system. I do not want that. I just want to convert the encoding of
filenames that belong to a single directory. I do not want to migrate the
whole system to utf8.
Is iconv what you are looking for?
NAME
iconv - Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another
SYNOPSIS
iconv -f encoding -t encoding inputfile
DESCRIPTION
The iconv program converts the encoding of characters in
inputfile from one coded character set to another. The result
is written to standard output unless otherwise specified by the
--output option.
Moreover, the original question still remains. Given a bunch of files, how
do I determine their current encoding?
Use file command perhaps? Real example:
$> file foo.txt
foo.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
