To convert 'em, simply run

 % iconv --from-code WINDOWS-1256 --to-code UTF-8 input_file > output_file

NOTE: do a 'man iconv' for further details and 'iconv --list' to
      see a listing of all supported encodings.

BTW: you might want to consider doing this a bit differently given
     a user opts for an 'online pull' type of a method.  Consider
     adding the ability for the user to see a listing of that is
     available and then to dynamically download the needed data from
     a pre-set or user-specified location.  Adding this option will
     then give the user to download whatever data he/she opts for.

Just a thought.

I'll leave these for others to tackle.
