Actually I think mb_encode_numericentity() is the function I need.

mb_convert_encoding() will just re-encode a string from one encoding
to another, but a Latin-1 source simply can not include Latin-2
characters no matter what encoding I chose. I need numeric character
references defined by HTML for that.

Anyway I think mb_encode_numericentitiy() will work, I just need to know
how to create a map of code-point areas for it to work, and I don't
quite understand how such an area is defined.

Thank you,
