Package: recode Version: 3.6-22 Followup-For: Bug #321437 I just tested this with the upcoming 3.7, and it seems to be fixed.
I put the given text in a file foo.txt, then: $ cat foo.txt|recode "utf8..iso-8859-1" recode: Invalid input in step `UTF-8..ISO-8859-1' $ cat foo.txt|recode -f "utf8..iso-8859-1" Imports System $ cat foo.txt|recode "utf8..utf16"|recode "utf16..iso-8859-1" recode: Invalid input in step `UTF-16..ISO-8859-1' $ cat foo.txt|recode "utf8..utf16"|recode -f "utf16..iso-8859-1" Imports System In other words, we now get the same result whether going directly from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 or via UTF-16. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-26-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages recode depends on: ii libc6 2.23-0ubuntu10 ii librecode0 3.6-22 recode recommends no packages. recode suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
