Covered?? 1 sentence of common knowledge, 1 sentence explaining NO MORE than the error message itself,

I thought what follows was obvious, but here you go: Don't give something other than UTF-8 to a library that expects UTF-8, or use a different library.

They do not all have the Malformed UTF error, however, all of the ones with high ascii characters do not display correctly!

Problems in output are meaningless if there's a problem in the input. You need to fix the inability of the module to handle the tags first.

All the tags are written using the same application, I highly doubt that it gets it right sometimes and not others...

Some? You just said *all* non-ASCII character don't work. Which one is it?
