### File encodings
`bat` natively supports UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. For every other file encoding, you may need to
convert to UTF-8 first because the encodings can typically not be auto-detected. You can `iconv`
to do so.
Example: if you have a PHP file in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding, you can call:
``` bash
iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 my-file.php | bat
```
Note: you might have to use the `-l`/`--language` option if the syntax can not be auto-detected
by `bat`.
