is there any encoding associated with files created on HP-UX

[skt_skt]

HP-UX 11.11

is there any encoding standards associated (like ANSI, unicode,utf-8) with files creaeted on HP-UX by deafult?

what i observe is when i open the file (created on Hp-UX and trsnsfered to widnows ) and do a save as then the encoding chosed by deafult is ANSI. Not sure if the encoding is ANSI while creaetd on HP-UX or if the windos is picking ANSI as the default encoding.

So is there a way i can check from UNIX side what is the encoding associated with the file?

The encoding is whatever the creator uses.
Unless you have a magic program, possibly file(1), there is no easy way to determine the encoding.

Shalom,

This is handled by the application.

There is no default.

what command can tell you about the file.

what filename
