[elinks-users] unicode conversion

[Rick R]

That works like a champ, thanks.

One more minor thing.
When converting french, the é, è and à are being converted to *.
(hex codes E8,  E9 and E0)

Is there something I can do to fix this?

A test string:  "Le phénomène à souligner est certainement la
croissance du prix moyen de vente par rapport à T3 2006 et par rapport
à T2 2007",

The result:      "Le ph*nom*ne * souligner est certainement la
croissance du prix moyen de vente par rapport * T3 2006 et par rapport
* T2 2007"


Thanks
