Important note that nano on Linux always works in UTF-8 as far as I can tell, so to get a js file or what have you to display proper characters you’ll need to use iconv to convert the final file to ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 or whatever encoding you happen to be using.

iconv -c -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 someCamelCaseScriptFilename.js  -o someOtherCamelCaseScriptFilename.js
