Trondtr

My name is Trond Trosterud, I am a Norwegian linguist, and I do not speak Iñupiaq.

Perl script for translating dictionary entries into Unicode

Usage: Save the text below in a file ip.pl. Translate by the command

cat yourtextfile.txt | perl ip.pl > yournewtextfile.txt

Here comes the file:

---

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use utf8;

while (<>) 
{
# convert the Iñupiaq "font" to utf8
