1. I need the output in chinese characters like (기타/부재시 집 앞에 놓고가셔되) OR-OR-oR
2. how to convert these html to entities to chinese characters on terminal Please note I do not have php installed on my machine. so I can not use html_entity_decode or other php decode methods

I have perl and python installed on my machine.

Answer 1

Just pipe the output through this simple Perl substitution:

perl -CO -pe 's/&#(\d+);/chr $1/ge'

• -p reads the input line by line and prints each after processing
• -CO turns on UTF-8 encoding of the output
• /e evaluates the replacement part of the s/// substitution as code
• chr just returns the character of the given number in the character set.
