these buffers under the visited file name, saving may use the wrong file
name, or it may get an error.  If such a problem happens, use @kbd{C-x

@item M-x recode-region
Convert the region from a previous coding system to a new one.

current language environment.

@findex recode-region
  If a piece of text has already been inserted into a buffer using the
wrong coding system, you can decode it again using @kbd{M-x
recode-region}.  This prompts you for the old coding system and the
desired coding system, and acts on the text in the region.

name, or it may get an error.  If such a problem happens, use @kbd{C-x

@findex recode-file-name
  If a mistake occurs when encoding a file name, use the command
command @kbd{M-x recode-file-name} to change the file name's coding
system.  This prompts for an existing file name, its old coding
system, and the coding system to which you wish to convert.

@vindex locale-coding-system
@cindex decoding non-@acronym{ASCII} keyboard input on X
  The variable @code{locale-coding-system} specifies a coding system
