1.
	r3.info --interface-description > desc.txt

[Pick any command which actually has Japanese translations.]

2.
	iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 desc.txt >/dev/null

	iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8 desc.txt >/dev/null

One of these commands should work, the other should produce an
"illegal input sequence" error.
