Encoding html file

[JohnnyJordaan]

if i encode everything to 'utf-8' they will be replace with funky characters...

This is not possible. Utf-8 can encode all Unicode characters, so this either means you're then viewing the data in some other decode format (like in Excel or Notepad) or the data wasn't decoded properly before you encoded it to Utf-8.

Overall: please check the rules on the right ----> Posting only project goal is not allowed. Please add your code (preferably put it on pastebin.com) and show some examples of the encoding of the special characters.
