    Tip: Find all non-UTF-8 files

    Here’s an easy way to find all non-UTF-8 files for later perusal:

    find . -type f | xargs -I {} bash -c "iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16 {} &>/dev/null || echo {}" > utf8_fail
    

    I’ve needed this before for converting projects over into UTF-8; obviously certain files are going to be binary and will show up in this list, so manual vetting will need to be done before converting all your images over into UTF-8.
