title: how to convert MS word Unicode 2-byte Cyrillic to CP866 1-byte Cyrillic
body: <p>I am having an issue with a piece of hardware that only contains the CP866 library/code page for Cyrillic. The text that I want to display is currently in MS Word and I need to convert it to the CP866 in a text file. (I know it just keeps getting worse!)</p>
  
  <p>I am aware that MS Word uses Unicode to display Cyrillic and if i am not mistaken it uses the UTF-16. So if I try to copy it to NP++, which from what I can tell only uses UTF-8, the HEX value changes.</p>
  
  <p>For example HEX values for 'й':  UTF-16 is 0439 but UTF-8 is d0b9 but what I need is CP866 HEX 89.</p>
  
  <p>Now I wish I could use different hardware, but it is what it is. Does anyone know the best way to make this happen? Maybe a different Text Editor someone could suggest.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help</p>
