The file that the program reads is a tab delimited file with the first item being the special character and the second item being the html equivalent. Here is the file: `Ă Á ĂĄ á Ă É ĂŠ Í; Ă í Ă Ñ Ăą ñ Ă Ó Ăł ó Ă Ú Ăş ú Ă Ü Ăź ü Âż ¿ ÂĄ ¡` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

How about this? `use HTML::Entities; use Encode; my $s1 = 'El supersĂłnico de los Indi'; print "Start string: $s1\n"; my $s2 = encode_entities(decode('utf8', $s1)); print "End string: $s2\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

eff_i_g has pointed out a nice wheel for you. I strongly suspect the file on your hard drive is not formatted like you think it is.	[reply]

That doesn't look like proper UTF-8 to me — though that might merely be a result of the various transformation steps involved in getting the file posted here. It would be better if you could show a hex dump of the file. For example, if you're on Linux, there's typically a tool called `"hexdump"` available, which you could use...	[reply] [d/l]
