title: Convert ISO-8859-2 to UTF-8 (Polish characters)
body: <p>I'm trying to parse an XML file (<a href="http://jstryczek.blox.pl/rss2" rel="nofollow">http://jstryczek.blox.pl/rss2</a>) that says its character set is ISO-8859-2. My database is in UTF-8, so I want to convert it to UTF-8.</p>
  
  <p>To do that I run the following on the string:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$content = iconv('ISO-8859-2', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT', $content);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For some reason, I'm getting back an odd encoding, so that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Gdzie są różnice
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Comes through as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Gdzie sÄ rĂłĹźnice
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an explanation for why the Polish characters aren't coming through? Does UTF-8 not support them?</p>
