About:
cocot is a character code converter designed for use on TTY (teletypewriter) terminals and console environments. It seamlessly converts text between various character encodings, such as Shift-JIS, EUC, and ISO-2022, which are common in Japanese computing. This tool is essential for ensuring proper text display and data interchange in legacy systems and mixed-encoding environments.
Key Features:
  • Real-time conversion of TTY input/output streams
  • Support for multiple Japanese character encodings (Shift-JIS, EUC, ISO-2022)
  • Lightweight and designed for console-based workflows
  • Configurable via command-line options
Use Cases:
  • Reading and writing files with different Japanese character encodings on a terminal
  • Filtering text data through a conversion pipeline in shell scripts
  • Ensuring correct character display when connecting to legacy remote systems
Alternatives:
  • iconv – Standard GNU utility for character set conversion; more universally available but less specialized for specific TTY nuances.
  • nkf – Network Kanji Filter; a powerful and widely used tool for Japanese character conversion with extensive features.
