I have a website which has some non standard characters such as ë, Ç etc.
The website uses ISO-8859-1 as it’s character encoding, however at this point I want to switch it to UTF-8 for some reasons related to rss feeds.
When i change the character encoding to utf-8 the mentioned characters are displayed incorrectly.
