Here is my simple problem, how can I convert half-width to full-width from the command line. I thought this would be built-in my iconv command line, but I did not find anything here:
$ iconv  -l | grep -i full
-> nothing
$ iconv  -l | grep -i half
-> nothing
Typical input would be:
$ echo -n "Ab9876543210" | iconv -f utf8 -t utf16be | hexdump -C
