I need a Unix command to convert a .csv file that is in UNICODE format to ANSI format.

The file is imported from the Cognos environment and I am unable to make any changes with the format in cognos so any help with the command would be appreciated.

You can use iconv to convert between encodings

iconv -f utf8 -t ascii oldfile > newfile
