I have many files on my webpage, which I wanted to standardize to utf-8. To automatically detect which ones contain problems I made a small script which detects the actual encoding (using `chardet` for the detection).
- A file containing the `ñ` is detected by `chardet` as ISO-8859-9 (as I understand it - correctly).
- The file contains a 0xF1 byte (coming from the ISO encoding or Latin-9)
- If I use `geany` to convert the document to UTF-8, the file doesn't seem to change (even though the tab changes to indicate the change). The 0xF1 is still present.
I suspect that geany (or the called library) doesn't feel 0xF1 is _not_ utf-8, hence doesn't translate it.
Is there any work-around?
