I want to set a locale in a script so that cp850 codepage is used for the string that is handled by the script which will be written in a json-file.
I have found I can set LANG=de_DE.utf8 and I have found that some locales have a .cpXXX in the locale.
Any hint on how to get my umlauts from the string produced by writing to a pipe into the json-file are welcome.
Kind regards, Jan
