✨ ASC2XML(1) ✨

okay so bestie, listen — this lil cutie lives in the HTML-XML-utils fam 💖 and she has exactly ONE job and she does it flawlessly. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

asc2xml — the icon that converts &#nnn; entities to UTF-8 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

asc2xml

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, no drama. she just exists ✨ (main character energy fr fr)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe 👑

asc2xml reads an ASCII or ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) text from standard input and writes encoded UTF-8 to standard output.

that's the whole thing. she takes your input, she gives you UTF-8 back, she serves 💅✨

🫶 friendly reminder: stdin in, stdout out. pipe it, redirect it, whatever — she's not picky, she's just correct.
