native2ascii | Convert text to ASCII with Unicode escapes

Synopsis
native2ascii [ options ] [ inputfile [ outputfile ]]
Description
native2ascii is a
simple program that reads a text file (usually of Java source code)
encoded using a local encoding and converts it to a
Latin-1-plus-ASCII-encoded-Unicode form allowed by the Java Language
Specification. This is helpful when you must edit a file of Java code
but do not have an editor that can handle the encoding of the file.
The inputfile and
outputfile are optional. If unspecified,
standard input and standard output are used, making
native2ascii suitable for use in pipes.
Options
- -encoding encoding-name
-
Specifies the encoding used by source files. If this option is not
specified, the encoding is taken from the
file.encoding system property.
- -reverse
-
Specifies that the conversion should be done in reversefrom
encoded \uxxxx
characters to characters in the native encoding.
