I wrote a function that replaces high ascii values with visually equivalent
values.
<cffunction name="ReplaceExntededAscii" access="public" returntype="string"
output="no" hint="This attemps to replace the extended ascii characters with
what could visually be considered the standard ascii equivalent.">

<cfset var LOCAL = StructNew() />
<cfset LOCAL.NewText = CreateObject("java",
"java.lang.StringBuffer").Init("") />
<cfset LOCAL.Character = Mid(ARGUMENTS.Text, LOCAL.intIndex, 1) />
<cfswitch expression="#Asc(LOCAL.Character)#">
