Yes, I tried using `Encode::Guess` with "open" pragma, but no luck. https://perldoc.perl.org/Encode/Guess.html I'm also afraid of "open" pragma does not work properly while using git_blame_common(). Let's say someone using non-ASCII characters in his/her name, committing non-UTF8 encoded characters. git-blame will combine them in the same line. Following is an example: $ git blame dummy | xxd 00000000: 3461 6464 3565 6331 2028 e585 90e5 b3b6 4add5ec1 (...... 00000010: 20e6 96b0 2032 3031 382d 3035 2d30 3320 ... 2018-05-03 00000020: 3232 3a34 383a 3432 202b 3039 3030 2031 22:48:42 +0900 1 00000030: 2920 8367 8389 8343 0a ) .g...C. * e585 90e5 b3b6 20e6 96b0 : my name, encoded with UTF-8 * 8367 8389 8343 : "トライ" encoded with Shift_JIS It means I need to split each lines of git-blame output at the very beginning, then convert the first-half as UTF-8 and the second-half as Shift_JIS.
