I need to convert the string to utf-8. How this can be done on linux platfom. Suppose string is "c3aa" it should be encoded to "ê". As i need it to implement it for vcard My vcard string contains :

BEGIN:VCARD^M
VERSION:2.1^M
N;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;=C3=AA=74=65=64;;;^M
FN;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTAABLE:=C3=AA=74=65=64^M
TEL;CELL;PREF:75501945^M
END:VCARD^M

Please suggest. Thanks in advance

UTF-8 is the default Unicode encoding for `char` stuff these days (assuming your environment is set up properly). You just need to decode the string. – ldav1s Oct 04 '13 at 02:57
but how to decode it? – user2843171 Oct 04 '13 at 03:02
A big clue is `ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE`, described in [RFC 2045](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt). – ldav1s Oct 04 '13 at 04:14
