I have a strange Problem with writing umlauts like (ä, ü) to a file, which has an ISO-8859-1 Encoding.
My Shell-script is reading a file. The Encoding differs. Sometimes US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1. Then a I have to replace all "{" with a "ä".
I am reading the file line by line and do it with a sed on each line. Then I write the corrected line with an echo to a new file.
When the file is ready, within the hex Editor I can see, that the "ä" is represented as a "c3 a4" - thats an UTF-8 Encoding. What I Need is an ISO-8859 Encoding - a "e4".
Thats my code:
My env-variables are as follows:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Is it possible to force to write an ISO-8859-1 encoded file?
How do you would handle the various encoded files for reading? Should I convert them first with "iconv" to ISO-8859-1?

UTF8_ENCODE(3) 1 UTF8_ENCODE(3)utf8_encode - Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8SYNOPSIS
string utf8_encode (string $data)
DESCRIPTION
This function encodes the string $data to UTF-8, and returns the encoded version. UTF-8 is a standard mechanism used by Unicode for
encoding wide character values into a byte stream. UTF-8 is transparent to plain ASCII characters, is self-synchronized (meaning it is
possible for a program to figure out where in the bytestream characters start) and can be used with normal string comparison functions for
sorting and such. PHP encodes UTF-8 characters in up to four bytes, like this:
