Here's a useful script to batch-convert ASP files from ANSI to UTF-8 encoding:

<%
Dim fso, folder, files, NewsFile, sFolder, objFSO, strFileIn, strFileOut
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sFolder = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sitefolder"

Function ANSItoUTF8( ANSIFile)
   UFT8FileOut=ANSIFile&".utf8" 
   Set oFS    = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
   Set oFrom  = CreateObject( "ADODB.Stream" )
   sFFSpec    = oFS.GetAbsolutePathName(ANSIFile)
   Set oTo    = CreateObject( "ADODB.Stream" )
   sTFSpec    = oFS.GetAbsolutePathName(UFT8FileOut)
   oFrom.Type    = 2 'adTypeText
   oFrom.Charset = "Windows-1252"
   oFrom.Open
   oFrom.LoadFromFile sFFSpec
   oTo.Type    = 2 'adTypeText
   oTo.Charset = "utf-8"
   oTo.Open
   oTo.WriteText oFrom.ReadText
   oTo.SaveToFile sTFSpec,2
   oFrom.Close
   oTo.Close
   oFS.DeleteFile sFFSpec
   oFS.MoveFile sTFSpec,sFFSpec
End Function

ConvertFiles fso.GetFolder(sFolder), True

Function ConvertFiles(objFolder, bRecursive)
    Dim objFile, objSubFolder
    For each objFile in objFolder.Files
        If Ucase(fso.GetExtensionName(objFile)) = "ASP" Then
            ANSItoUTF8 objFile.path
            response.write "• Converted "&fso.GetAbsolutePathName(objFile)&" from ANSI to UTF-8
"
        End If
    Next

    If bRecursive = true then
        For each objSubFolder in objFolder.Subfolders
            ConvertFiles objSubFolder, true
        Next
    End If
End Function
