Utilities
If you find Greek text files on the internet or elswhere that display as gibberish, then the Linux utility "iconv" might work. iconv --list will display a long list of encodings and the command iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-7 --to-code=UTF-8 greek.txt > english.txt should change the encoding from ISO-8859-7 to Unicode (Windows-1253 is another common Greek encoding).
