Hello:
 
I have some data in a spreadsheet that I need to load into a database. The data in the 
excel spreadsheet apparently contains windows specific characters. Whenever I import 
the data into my database, those special characters remain and since my database runs 
on an unix platform, I am getting all kinds of UTF-8 encoding problems in a separate 
application that is powered by this data.
 
The tool that I am using to import the data is called Navicat. The folks there say 
that any data that contains double byte characters will be imported as such. So my 
question is if anybody knows of a tool that will get rid of those "double byte 
characters" or windows specific characters and replace them with standard ones.
 
Thanks in advance
