I made a pair of web applications:
https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xencode takes a piece of text and shows how it would be represented in various encodings that it knows about.
https://gate.uber.space/dkq/cgi-bin/xdecode does the opposite. It takes a sequence of bytes (in hex) and shows what text it represents in various encodings.
By the way, if you find a way to exploit these (particularly HTML injection/XSS), please tell me!
(Idea inspired by @foone, who once asked for something like this.)

Just released dos2ansi v0.4, with lots of #DOS #codepage s supported and a testmode to display them.
The next nice feature would be to use the actual terminal capabilities if output goes there. Very simple on *nix-like systems (#Linux, #FreeBSD, ...), just link #curses and use the termcap functions.
Thinking about #Windows again, either I keep relying on #UTF8 support (since #win7 IIRC? and still a bit buggy) and #ANSI sequences support (since #win10) .... OR I attempt to use the native #Console #API there (using special functions to write in #UTF16 and other special functions to set colors, which would require a major refactoring first 🙄)

Aaaah ... XÖV ... ich wäre mir an deren Stelle mal nicht so sicher, dass das "Ö" in irgendwelchen Behärdensystemen keine #Codepage-Probleme macht! 🤣
