Depends on which special characters....If you mean accented letters, I use a subroutine that converts the accented high ASCII code to it's non-accented letter. (EX. e' to e).
Basically, it's just a bunch of converts. But it's good for converting data that was entered via a website text entry where foreign letters can be entered. The hard part is collecting all the possible accented letters.
