I don't think such a test can give you 100% certainty it's all utf8. But the tests I did on my linux machine gave the same result, so it's probably fairly certain! ;-)


# file Z2DAILY.356
Z2DAILY.356: UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators

# iconv -f utf8 Z2DAILY.356 -t utf8 -o /dev/null; echo $?
0


Bye, Wilfred.
