iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 oldfile > newfile
or:
iconv -f UTF-16 -t ASCII oldfile > newfile

If the source file only contains characters which can be represented
as ASCII (i.e. codes 0-127), there will be no difference between
converting to UTF-8 and converting to ASCII. OTOH, if the source file
contains any non-ASCII characters, converting to UTF-8 will succeed
while converting to ASCII will fail at the first non-ASCII character.
