Franck Grenier	Thursday 11 February 2010 2:22:00 am Hello, I import content from RSS feeds. Everything works fine, excepted an encoding issue on special caracters. My site uses UTF-8, the feeds use ISO. The apostrophe (`) and other special symbols are replaced by squares. How can I correct that without having to modify each imported node ?

Hello,

I import content from RSS feeds. Everything works fine, excepted an encoding issue on special caracters. My site uses UTF-8, the feeds use ISO.

The apostrophe (`) and other special symbols are replaced by squares.

How can I correct that without having to modify each imported node ?

The problem came from charset cp1252, from Microsoft Word. Then, I modified the rssimport.php cronjob and added this function :
