About Unicode and Encoding Repair Tool
Unicode and Encoding Repair Tool is used to fix mojibake — garbled text that results from mismatched character encoding, such as "é" appearing instead of "é". It tries common encoding mismatch combinations (e.g. UTF-8 bytes interpreted as Latin-1) and outputs the most likely correctly decoded text. Mojibake is almost always caused by reading UTF-8 as Windows-1252 or vice versa — if the repair does not look right, try switching the source and target encoding. Unicode and Encoding Repair Tool runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
