Hmm, yes this is a well-coded piece of OSXware, but I cannot agree with the happyness around.

Unicodechecker will only check STRINGS. I.e. it is helpful when you need to look up a value for a certain character or so - that is great but I personally would prefer this functionality more integrated in other programs or OSX itself, not in a seperated GUI.

However, what I desperately lack here is a conversion for FILES. UChecker is the most intelligent software I know when it comes to knowing how to convert, but it can't convert...

OKee, I'll search on for something that can change UTF-16 -> UTF-8 without garbling the special characters that happen to have a different encoding but do exist for both file types.

Many text editors can do that - Ronald P. Regensburg

Many more advanced text editors can do what you need, even TextEdit can do that: Open text in one encoding and save in a different encoding.
