Even using text edit to make sure they're encoded at utf-8 this doesn't work. I'd found some command which would give the encoding, but it gave unknown-8 for the files. So I opened each in text edit, made a copy, saved using utf-8 to encode, and recompressed just using the new files. I still get an error, though it's slightly different.

unicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 0: invalid start byte

this may be a lost cause, I don't know who actually made the stardict nor what tools they used to do so. There is a .mobi version, though I don't think that does me any good either.

Frustrating since with a series like Malazan it would be really nice to have a dictionary of terms and names.
