How to deal with garbled characters in novel texts

Answer 1

Here are some ways to deal with the garbled text of a novel:
1. ** Using the code setting of the e-book reading software **: If you are on an e-book reading device, you can try to open the e-book, select the second last "Code Method" from the options-System Presets, select "Save in the GB2313 (Code Method), and then open it again to view it." If he opened it and it was still garbled, he would click on the left side of the opened e-book page, then select "Execute System Preset" to confirm again.
2. ** Changing the code with notepad (applicable to a small number of files)**: Open the garbled novel file with notepad on the computer, click "file"-"save as", and find the "code" drop-down menu in the "save" dialog box. Try to choose a different code method, such as drew, Unicode, UTF - 8, etc. After saving the file, open it again to view.
3. ** Using the Garbled Text Transcode Assistant Tool **: Easy to operate, powerful, and supports batch transcodes of multiple file types. It supports automatic identification and conversion of the GBK and UTF - 8 codes. You can also specify the code method to transcode. The forced mode can skip the characters that are not supported to ensure the completion of the transcode.
4. ** Transcode in batches through Python scripts (suitable for situations where you have a programming foundation and need to process a large number of files)**: For example, the following script:
```python
import os
import chardet

def convert_encoding(file_path, target_encoding='utf - 8'):
with open(file_path, 'rb') as file:
raw_data = file.read()
result = chardet.detect(raw_data)
source_encoding = result['encoding']
if source_encoding!= target_encoding:
content = raw_data.decode(source_encoding, errors='ignore')
with open(file_path, 'w', encoding=target_encoding) as file:
file.write(content)
print(f"Converted {file_path} from {source_decoding} to {target_decoding}")
else:
print(f"{file_path} is already {target_coding}, no conversion needed")

def batch_convert(directory, target_encoding='utf - 8'):
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
for file in files:
if file.endswith('.txt'):
file_path = os.path.join(root, file)
convert_encoding(file_path, target_encoding)

```
5. ** For specific reading software (For example, the Chinese characters of fbreader under domestic operating systems are garbled)**: If the Chinese characters are garbled after installing fbreader under domestic linux operating systems such as Zhongke Fangde and Deepin, you can check the language and coding settings and use "settings" in the tool bar.(Gear icon, third from the bottom). Enter the software settings. In the "Language" tab, make sure that the language is Chinese, the default code is Unicode, and the default code is Unicode(UTF - 8). At the same time, change the default font to Chinese font. Enter the "Style" tab in the settings, and change the font corresponding to the "Basic" option to Chinese font, such as "Noto Serif CJK SC" font (or other Chinese font).
