## Historique du projet et usages

nkf, the Network Kanji Filter, is a long-lived Japanese text encoding conversion utility. It converts among encodings such as ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP, UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32, with automatic input-encoding guessing as one of its defining conveniences.

### Historique du projet

The upstream README credits the original 1987 Fujitsu work by Itaru Ichikawa and the nkf Project's later maintenance from 1996 through 2012. The project's change log shows a major 2.0-era transition in September 2002, including UTF-8/UTF-16 work and migration into SourceForge CVS, which matches nkf's role as Japanese Unix text processing moved from legacy encodings toward Unicode.

### Historique d'adoption

nkf has survived because the Japanese encoding problem never fully disappeared: archives, mail, old web content, Windows-31J/CP932 data, and legacy build/test fixtures still need reliable conversion. Homebrew's API reported 144 installs in 30 days, 560 in 90 days, and 4,692 in 365 days when checked on July 1, 2026, and the package is also present across Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Nix, MacPorts, and other package systems.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical command-line use is plumbing: guess an unknown Japanese file's encoding, convert Shift_JIS or EUC-JP to UTF-8, normalize line endings, MIME-decode Japanese mail headers, or do in-place conversion with `--overwrite`. Developers also encounter nkf indirectly through language bindings, notably Ruby's NKF extension.

### Chronologie

- 1987: original nkf copyright is attributed to Fujitsu Ltd. and Itaru Ichikawa.
- 1996-2012: README credits ongoing nkf Project copyright.
- 2002-09: 2.0-era notes record UTF support work and SourceForge CVS setup.
- 2018-12-15: v2.1.5 is the stable version carried by Homebrew.
