Multibyte characters to ASCII
Hello,

Is there any UNIX utility/command/executable that will convert mutlibyte characters to standard single byte ASCII characters in a given file?

and

Is there any UNIX utility/command/executable that will recognize multibyte characters in a given file name?

The typical multibyte character set that we might encounter are Chinese and or Japanese.

Thanks
Jerardfjay
