To convert 'em, simply run
% iconv --from-code WINDOWS-1256 --to-code UTF-8 input_file > output_file
NOTE: do a 'man iconv' for further details and 'iconv --list' to
see a listing of all supported encodings.
BTW: you might want to consider doing this a bit differently given
a user opts for an 'online pull' type of a method. Consider
adding the ability for the user to see a listing of that is
available and then to dynamically download the needed data from
a pre-set or user-specified location. Adding this option will
then give the user to download whatever data he/she opts for.
Just a thought.

I'll leave these for others to tackle.
