title: How do I correct the character encoding of a file?
body: <p>I have an ANSI encoded text file that should not have been encoded as ANSI as there were accented
  characters that ANSI does not support. I would rather work with UTF-8.</p>
  
  <p>Can the data be decoded correctly or is it lost in transcoding?</p>
  
  <p>What tools could I use?</p>
  
  <p>Here is a sample of what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Ã§ Ã©
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can tell from context (cafÃ© should be café) that these should be these two characters:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ç é
  </code></pre>
