Hello. If you look at the OGL page for the West
Indian Quay Cineworld, it
has an embedded RSS feed of current showings, taken from the Time Out site:

The problem is that there's some kind of encoding mismatch that leads to
lots of "weird characters". Is there anything that can be done about this?
I've tested it elsewhere; it's not a problem limited to OGL.
It looks like that is UTF-8, but the page is claiming to be iso-8859-1.
There are two options here. One is to serve your pages claiming to be
UTF-8, the other is to transcode the RSS feed to iso-8859-1 with
something like iconv.
