Well, you're basically stuck if you're trying to run it through an ASCII-only (7-bit codes) routine. If you can go through a UTF-8--aware routine, then you just have to make sure you've got the right routine. I don't know enough about how code pages work to give a useable answer, but sometimes you can use code pages to go from UTF-8 to 8-bit extended ASCII, and your current routine might be okay with that. Others on the group have more experience in code conversions, so you might watch for their posts.
