======
a8utf8
======
--------------------------------------------------
Convert Atari 8-bit text to UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
--------------------------------------------------
.. include:: manhdr.rst
SYNOPSIS
========
*a8utf8* [**-r**] [**-i**] [*infile*] [*infile ...*]
*a8utf8* [**-r**] [**-i**] **-t**
DESCRIPTION
===========
Convert Atari 8-bit ATASCII or XL ICS (International Character
Set) text to UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Control graphics characters are
replaced with their nearest Unicode equivalents (mostly from the Box
Drawing block, or from the Basic Latin block with **-i** option).
If no *infile* is given, input is read from standard input. Output always
goes to standard output; to write to a file, use a command like::
a8utf8 atari.txt > converted.txt
The output is plain UTF-8 Unicode, without BOM.
Inverse video (characters codes above **$80**) are translated to
their non-inverse equivalents, except **$9B** (Atari EOL), which is
translated to **\\n** (newline).
OPTIONS
=======
-i
Input uses Atari XL/XE International Character Set encoding, rather than
ATASCII graphics.
-t
Print table of Atari to Unicode equivalents, in CSV format. Can
be used with or without **-i** and/or **-r** (four different tables).
-r
Reverse conversion: Input is UTF-8, output is ATASCII (or XL ICS, with **-i**).
Beware that printing ATASCII to a terminal may look funny, and may even confuse
the terminal. Redirecting to a file is safe.
