I have been using this soltution a while and it even solves problems concering characters in languages such as russian and greek (non-western character set). Best regards, hbi Dominic,

The solution is to know your data and output it in the correct encoding. The correct encoding being UTF-8, unless you have <em>very</em> good reasons otherwise.
