This works

create bash script to do conversion
perl -p -e 's/\r/\n/g' < newfilm.sh > newfilm2.sh
iconv -f utf-16le -t utf-8 < /Library/WebServer/Documents/newfilm2.sh > /Library/WebServer/Documents/newfilm3.sh
perl -p -e 's/\r/\n/g' < newfilm.sh > newfilm2.sh

Export filed contents to newfilm.sh
Convert to film.sh

iconv -f utf-16 -t utf-8 UTF-8-FILE

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 < /Library/WebServer/Documents/newfilm.sh > /Library/WebServer/Documents/newfilm.sh

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 < file > file.new

iconv -t UTF-8//TRANSLIT -c newfilm.sh > film.sh

to export utf-8
https://fmforums.com/topic/50201-text-export-in-utf-8-instead-of-utf-16/

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 < file > file.new
? 
iconv -f utf-16 -t utf-8 < file > file.new

this supposedly works
tell terminal? 
iconv -t UTF-8//TRANSLIT -c infile > outfile.txt

-- tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"

	copy cell "filename" of current record to fileName

	copy cell "Text_" of current record to exportMe

	do shell script "echo -n " & quoted form of exportMe & " > ~/desktop/" & quoted form of fileName

	-- -n prevents a final line feed from being added

-- end tell

film.sh
