uconv on Mac OS X anywhere?

Solution 1:

My solution for you:

brew install icu4c

Read the message after install (nothing is at this moment direct available ...):

==> Caveats, This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

brew list icu4c | grep uconv

/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/55.1/bin/uconv

/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/55.1/share/man/man1/uconv.1

And after all, here my example for using this tool for normalization (NFC) utf8 text:

/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/55.1/bin/uconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -x NFC ~/Desktop/ue.txt | od -t x1

Not sure if it will suit your needs, but check out iconv which is coming with osx. Try iconv --list to list the supported encodings.
