TL;DR

convmv

Convert filenames (NOT file content) from one encoding to another. More information: https://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/.

  • Test filename encoding conversion (don’t actually change the filename):

convmv -f from_encoding -t to_encoding input_file

  • Convert filename encoding and rename the file to the new encoding:

convmv -f from_encoding -t to_encoding --notest input_file
