String Functions - Online String Manipulation Tools

Character Encoder / Decoder

This is an encoding / decoding tool that lets you simulate character encoding problems and errors.

Here, you can simulate what happens if you encode a text file with one encoding and then decode the text with a different encoding. Try e.g. to encode the Swedish characters åäö with utf-8 and then decode them with iso-8859-1, or try to encode 明伯 (simplified Chinese meaning 'to understand') with utf-8 and decode with GB 18030. That will yield the characters: 鏄庝集, which I really can't understand.

Enter a string to encode / decode
