That iconv command is super helpful. Thank you!


My serial card is currently in slot 3 on the Apple II:

]IN#3
]0 get a$ : ? a$; : if a$ <> chr$(4) goto
]RUN


In the Terminal, on the Linux platform:

./mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1-Q4_K_M-main.llamafile --temp 0.7 -r '\n' -p
'Display the euro symbol.' | tee /dev/tty | iconv -f UTF-8 -t
ASCII//TRANSLIT | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | tr '\n' '\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0

Display the euro symbol.
Answer: €


On the Apple II:

DISPLAY THE EURO SYMBOL.

On a related note about iconv and Apple II,

1) For international Apple IIs, the charset are:
French: ISO646-FR1
Spanish: ISO646-ES
Italian: ISO646-IT
German: ISO646-DE

You can use iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO646-FR1//TRANSLIT in the same manner.

2) By the way, glibc 2.39, released yesterday, contains a little patch
of mine that translits (some) emojis to ASCII:

root@a2proxy:~# echo "😉" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT
;-)

I wrote it so that my Mastodon client, which relies on a proxy for
network access, json parsing and charset change, could display common
emojis!
