Problem

I'm trying to work out how to convert a file to UTF-8, but I really can't find much useful info on google other than to use iconv. I downloaded that, but when I ran it via the CLI it told me that I hadn't installed it properly. The file I'm trying to handle is a rather large file (5M lines).

Notepad++ provides an easy (manual) way to do it. Open your file, choose "Encoding > Convert to UTF-8", and save. I think the size limit is 2 GB.
