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: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?UGC_West_India_Quay_Cinema,_E14_4AL
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.

Obviously if you serve your pages claiming to be UTF-8 you will still need to make sure that you transcode any RSS feeds that might not be published in UTF-8 into utf-8.
