That's trivial to check. Just feed it to recode and specify UTF-8
Hexadecimal input:
| $ echo 0x4b, 0xc4, 0x99, 0x73, 0x74, 0x75, 0x74, 0x69, 0x73 | recode utf-8/x..
| Kęstutis
To check a changelog, just do 'recode utf-8.. < changelog', which will
try to convert from UTF-8 to the current locale charset.
