Aqui está minha versão atualizada do script (incluindo a atribuição à fonte original, como achei há alguns anos). A principal mudança na funcionalidade é que ele irá lidar com nomes de caminhos que incluem caracteres que não são codificados de forma idêntica entre MacRoman e UTF-8 (qualquer coisa fora do ASCII).
#!/bin/sh
# Requires a POSIX-ish shell.

# XXXX are the hex digits of UTF-16 code units
# If a BOM is present, it specifies the byte order.
# The BOM code point will not be a part of the resulting string value.
# If no BOM is present, the byte order interpreted as native.

# or produce native byte ordering
# or include a BOM and produce native byte ordering.
# In my testing, iconv to UTF-16 includes a BOM and uses native ordering.
