I just edited a .html file using Adobe Dreamweaver, the charset is gb2312 since it's a Chinese website, then I used TextMate to edit the file, after I save the file, it was changed into utf-8 since the version of TextMate I'm using doesn't support Chinese. Is there any way I change the charset back to gb2312?

You can use Utilities -> Terminal and then sudo -s then Use the following command
iconv -f UTF-8 -t GB2312 oldfile.html > newfile.html
Change the charset in command accordingly.
OR
Mac has a file version system like TimeMachine. You can browse the previous versions of the file. See if mac saved the previous version of your file.

actually iconv doesn't support GB-2312, and I didn't set up Time Machine. But thanks a lot!– vvv214Mar 18, 2013 at 1:07

iconv -lincludes GB2312, but you could also trybrew install recode; recode utf8..gb2312 input.txt.– LriMar 18, 2013 at 8:19
