NAME

       utf8migrationtool - UTF-8 locale migration tool

DESCRIPTION

       utf8migrationtool is a wizard that simplifies upgrading a Debian system towards UTF-8 locales.

       First  it updates the login configuration (in ~/.dmrc) so the default locale uses UTF-8 encoding, then it
       checks every filename under the user's home directory and converts it to UTF-8 if needed.  Note  that  it
       only affects filenames, not file contents.

OPTIONS

       None.

USAGE

       utf8migrationtool is run from the Desktop Environment's menu.
