<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>

With vim from command line:
```
```
vim -c "set encoding=utf8" -c "set fileencoding=utf8" -c "wq" filename
```
```
