How to convert csv files encoding to utf-8

Question

is it possible to somehow convert csv data that has iso-8859-13 encoding to utf-8 ?

Old system, does not have utf-8 encoding, it uses only iso-8859-13 . And OpenERP, does not have iso-8859-13 , but have both utf8 and utf-16 . If i try to open csv file with other encoding than iso-8859-13 , then some symbols are not recognized. And if I try to import such file into OpenERP it gives error that I have wrong encoding. I can only import it using windows-1252 , but then it will import with unrecogniz
