Oh great, a utf-conversion tool - just what I need!

But what does it do? Pretty much the same as my text editor when I tell my text editor to save a utf-16 file to utf-8: NOT MUCH AT ALL. I have some multilanguaged files to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8. EncodingMaster did not help me - all special chars were garbled, no qualitative conversion was made, just a chop-off of the 2bytes to one byte.
Yes, I can save my files in utf-8 via EM and later on fix the files with UnicodeChecker, but that does not make life easy.
As well, I converted a file with EM from utf16 to utf8 and the resulting file was BIGGER that the original. Hmm...
