One easy way is to use the iconv calls from glibc. On most GNU-based systems you can read about it with 'man 3 iconv', or take a look in the glibc manual online at: <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/index.html>, particularly: <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Generic-Conversion-Interface.html>, and <http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/iconv-Examples.html> Basically, you just: iconv_t ic = iconv_open("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1"); // for example // use iconv(ic,...) to do your conversions iconv_close(ic); -- Wesley J.
