    You might want to take a look at this question:

    Detect encoding and make everything UTF-8

    especially the second answer by Sebastian Grinoli

    He wrote a class (and offers the link to it) which would correctly encode Windows Extended ASCII to UTF8 and also correct UTF8 if necessary.

    A really handy tool to have when you are in the UTF8 land 🙂
