I am trying to use the following command but can't get the right output:

$ w3m -dump_source google.com
r���G��2�Ph��ү�f�� ����?�l���%Y:���c(�����������Y\��s8Ư|   ��;����1ʹ��D��^�lK���٥r��\���Սk�V��Ϸv���{��r�����~s\��~?�ML7���¹���ƿ�qm��h��q�(��:wZ a�

How can I change the charset?

I've also tried 

w3m -O "UTF-8" -dump_source "google.com"

and 

w3m -I "UTF-8" -dump_source "google.com"

but none worked.

i.e. i have a file called Porträt.pdf.

But the filename was created with a charsets which isn't properly shown in ubuntu like the following example.

enter image description here

What would be the best practice to rename such chars in filenames, when you have several filenames and you can't use this special char because of it's coding in terminal commands?

I am getting a file with a faroese name and trying to save it in a PHP script:

2010_08_Útflutningur.xls

In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is saving it as:

2010_08_�tflutningur.xls (invalid encoding)

I've installed and run utf8-migration-tool, but with no effect.

Is this an Ubuntu error that I can fix or I just have to give up and modify the name in php?

Is there a document which states what is the acceptable charset for a filename in Ubuntu, or what are the encoding specs?

Thanks
