Thank you for this hint - unfortunately I can't test it out for now as my
hosting provider has not installed recode (and I even think about trying to
make my application fit for Windows PHP, too.

Anyway so far I experienced all encoding changes from UTF-8 to single-byte
encodings as lossy - an I don't want do loose non-latin characters when
changing the latin ones.

I will rethink my question and ask a more precise one in a new thread!
Thanks
