use emacs to change to utf8?

use emacs to change to utf8?

[Neal Becker]

When developing fedora packages, fedora's rpmlint will complain if some 
strange character is found in documentation files.  Usually I use iconv to 
fix it to utf8.

Just curious.  How would I use emacs to do this?

I'm sorry but I don't know why.

(encode-coding-string (decode-coding-string string 'from-enc) 'to-enc)

does what you want; and for buffer, there are decode-coding-region
and encode-coding-region

After visiting the file, type "C-x RET f utf-8 RET C-x C-s".
