Does anyone know how to display special characters from ISO-8559-1 properly in UTF-8?  I'm having a problem with data imported from another webiste, and it would seem that only the PHP platform offers a solution for it.  I've been compiling a data table (and function) of what I get and what it should properly display as on the fly, but this has been laborious and there are still quite a few characters to go.  Ideally, I just want to finish the function below, but I need to see a COMPLETE translation table first.
Function cleanup(ByVal varX As Variant) As Variant ' ' eliminates unwanted characters from text fields ' varX = Replace(varX, "á", "á") varX = Replace(varX, "ã", "ã") varX = Replace(varX, "ä", "ä") varX = Replace(varX, "Ã¥", "å") varX = Replace(varX, "ç", "ç") ...

Go to the complete details ...
