XML: RSS/RDF Feeds on American Servers reading German

[ofoglada]

Anyone have any ideas how to run a german character parser before importing the xml. I find that when i import the xml the characters are turned into ? before i can even parse it. Im working on a mass RSS / RDF parsing application that will be handling importing about 20 German & English Internet Security feeds and placing them in one news list. Any ideas would be helpful.

Heres the Coldfusion way of fixing this issue. Found it after a few hours of seaching.
