Hi!
I am trying to retrieve a utf-8 document with wget.
I want the swedish characters åäö ÅÄÖ to display correctly. Now they are displayed like "Ã¥ ä ö Ã… Ä Ö".
Is there something that I have to do with wget or with the resulting file?

A utf-8 example document.
wget -O - http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/utf8/

Thanks for any help!

This is solely a local terminal display issue, wget does not change the contents at all.
For example in gnome-terminal you can choose Terminal -> Set Character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8) and your command will display correctly.

Thanks for a swift reponse!

How can I convert the retrieved document from utf-8 to whatever Openwrt needs to display it properly?
i.e "Ã¥ ä ö Ã… Ä Ö" as åäö ÅÄÖ

Thanks again!

You can't, again this has nothing to do with OpenWrt at all, it is a configuration setting of the terminal you use to view it, e.g. gnome-terminal, kterm or putty on windows.

Thanks for the heads up! - good help

for my purpose I did a simple replace in the text file

sed -i 's/Ã¥/a/g' /www/pd.txt
sed -i 's/ä/a/g' /www/pd.txt
sed -i 's/ö/o/g' /www/pd.txt
sed -i 's/Ã…/A/g' /www/pd.txt
sed -i 's/Ä/A/g' /www/pd.txt
sed -i 's/Ö/O/g' /www/pd.txt
