The ways to compensate is to convert the charset to a proper one.
The problem is that users and software on the Windows platform often
confuses the iso-8859-1 character set with Windows-1252.
Windows-1252 is a superset of iso-8859-1 and includes a number of
additional characters.

Windows users and their software usually mix in WIN-1252 chars in
iso-8859-1 text. I think of it as their problem more than yours.
