 If it's French or a limited number of European languages only, selecting
 the appropriate ISO 8859-x encoding will suffice. Depends on your input
 files, of course. Just call
     fconfigure $f -encoding $enco
 AFTER opening and BEFORE reading a text file $f. For enco, use one of
 the available encodings ([encoding names] will tell which they are). For
 a file reader that auto-detects UTF-16 (all two-byte Unicodes, indicated
 by byte-order mark \uFEFF), see
