I d recommend using the Buffer class  var someEncodedString   Buffer from  someString    utf-8     This avoids any unnecessary dependencies that other answers require  since Buffer is included with node js  and is already defined in the global scope

When you want to change the encoding you always go from one into another  So you might go from Mac Roman to UTF-8 or from ASCII to UTF-8   It s as important to know the desired output encoding as the current source encoding  For example if you have Mac Roman and you decode it from UTF-16 to UTF-8 you ll just make it garbled   If you want to know more about encoding this article goes into a lot of details   What Every Programmer Absolutely  Positively Needs To Know About Encodings And Character Sets To Work With Text  The npm pacakge encoding which uses node-iconv or iconv-lite should allow you to easily specify which source and output encoding you want   var resultBuffer   encoding convert nameString   ASCII    UTF-8
