What, no CP1252? The most widely used character encoding in the Western
world, and you haven't taken it into account?

Note: CP1252 is better known as the Windows character set. No, that's
not the same as ISO-8859-1, although it can be thought of as an
extension to it, where some characters in the 128-159 range, which are
merly dups to the control characters in ISO-8859-1, are now used to
represent some extra printable characters.

Eh... so where does $data fit in?
