I have to ask... WHY are you forcing ISO-8859-1? If anything, you should be
forcing UTF-8. Then you can send, receive, and store data in UTF-8 ad cover
most human languages without having to change character set.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
