hebrew-demystifier
A small commandline program to demystify "gibberish" Hebrew characters. (åäøé ãâîà)

Usage
You can fire up the program with no arguments if you only need to re-encode Windows-1252 (Western European) as Windows-1255 (Hebrew, Logical). It'll prompt you for a line of text, and will demystify each one once you enter a carriage-return or similar.
There also exists the --mac-archive option which, when passed to the program, makes it demystify lines of text by re-encoding Mac-Roman into CP-856 instead. Apparently, OSX sometimes has trouble with archives containing Hebrew characters in filenames, and this is the way to demystify them.
There should be a --help option, optionally shorthanded as -h with a basic help and usage screen, too.
The Fine Print™
- Only use Python >= 3
- Can only demystify one line at a time, because I'm lazy
