character encoding - Re-encode a file back to Unicode after being saved as regular text -


is there way take file encoded unicode, saved ascii, take unicode?

here's what's happening. have data file has french characters (accents/etc.). original file shows them fine because it's unicode. then, file modified , saved non-unicode, of french accents replaced question marks. there way take file , convert unicode correctly display french characters?

if question marks notepad showing, no, data has been corrupted irreversibly , need re-place accented letters hand.

ascii doesn't contain accented letters, whatever there, gone.

i suggest using web browser open file , see if changing encoding makes accented characters appear, description i'm giving minuscule chances of success.
