That's latin1 ;-)

(Don't confuse with ASCII, which is 7 bit, i.e. no accents.
Latin1 is the 8 bit encoding that includes the french/italian/spanish/...
accentuated latters).

And it does. Warning about one thing: when playing with encoding stuff,
don't even trust the debug output - I mean, a variable could have the right
value, but when displaying it to the console, some wrong encoding might happen.

Please give more code extracts, so that I can find the bug ;)
