... Well, my information was not correct.
There are characters > 127 in the file, like "ř", "š"...
Each char = 1 byte, and as I'm using Windows with CP 1250, the characters are displayed correctly.
But I have problem loading them into ConTeXt.
I need to convert the bytes > 127 to UTF sequence, which would be acceptable by ConTeXt.
@Thomas:
The table looks nice but there are no entries for CP 1250 to UTF conversion.
I prepared some tables: character conversion and removal of diacritics (see the attachment);
maybe it would be handful to include them into ConTeXt somehow.
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
I have many files with ASCII encoding; this encoding must be kept as these files are processed also by another program.
When I work with them in ConTeXt, I need to convert them to UTF.
Not needed, as every ASCII string is a valid UTF8 string: “The UTF encoding has several good properties. By far the most important is that a byte in the ASCII range 0-127 represents itself in UTF. Thus UTF is backward compatible with ASCII.” http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/utf You can use them in Luatex without further conversion.
Regards Philipp
Does Lua (in ConTeXt scope) offer a transformation function or a table of chars [ASCII-code] -> [UTF-code] or anything to provide the conversion?
Something like:
\startluacode local str = loadFile("a.txt") -- ASCII coded
str = context.ACSII2UTF(str) -- Or something like this \stopluacode
Best regards,
Lukas
