Hi! I have spent some time to take a look on this issue. I found that the reason to cause this problem is "iconv" command. This GNU tool can helps user to convert their file's encoding type from one to another.

The "encoding.convert" of "mafan library" is a wrapping function of iconv to make it easier to use. Basically, the whole process of "encoding.convert" function is detecting the encoding type of input file and convert its encoding type from detected type to UTF-8 by using "iconv" command.

I will start to find a solution to patch this issue.
