## Describe the problem/error/question

Hello, this is my first post on the n8n community.

I am a new user who has just started using n8n with a self-hosted setup.

While trying to do some website scraping with n8n, I found that the site I want to scrape is encoded in EUC-KR. After looking through some posts, I noticed that n8n uses UTF-8 as the default encoding. In this case, I need some help on how to handle this. Since iconv-lite does not support EUC-KR, I’m unable to convert it.

## What is the error message (if any)?

Text corruption occurs

## Please share your workflow

Yes, that’s right! HTTP Request node uses UTF-8 encoding by default so a workaround is to download the content as a binary file in the HTTP Request node and then use the Extract from File node to read the binary data using the correct encoding.

n8n supports encodings supported by `inconv` which supports `EUC-KR` so even though it’s not listed in the File Encoding dropdown, you can switch to the Expresion tab and enter the encoding directly, which should work! You can find a full list of encodings supported by the library here: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv)
