NOTES
By design, Cedilla only accepts input data in UTF-8. You are expected to use an external converter such as iconv(1) or luit(1) in order to print text encoded in a legacy encoding.
Cedilla is unable to print data that comes from a pipe; this is unavoidable, as Cedilla makes two passes over its input file.
