Sometimes I have unwanted characters in my files (DB tables, git content, etc). When I list them with xxd I have the UTF-8 code, e.g.:
e28099
I would like to know which is this character in bash, so I type:
echo -n '00000000: e28099' | xxd -r
And I will have
’
on the console. Is it possible not to include always those zeroes (00000000: )? So are there any params of xxd with which I could type:
echo -n 'e28099' | xxd -??? and the result will be ’?
>Solution :
I suggest:
echo 'e28099' | xxd -r -p
Output:
’
