Will let you know how it goes.

I've added a recipe that migrates wiki page files and attachments from
an older 8-bit encoding to UTF-8.

   https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MigrateUTF8

Please have a recent backup snapshot before proceeding, then follow the
instructions.

This may or may not work on MacOSX filesystems.

Let me know if you were successful.
