title: Character #\u009C cannot be represented in the character set CHARSET:CP1252 - how to fix it
body: <p>As already pointed out in the topic, I got the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Character #\u009C cannot be represented in the character set CHARSET:CP1252
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>trying to print out a string given back by <code>drakma:http-request</code>, as far as I understand the error-code the problem is that the windows-encoding (CP1252) does not support this character.
  Therefore to be able to process it, I might/must convert the whole string.</p>
  
  <p>My question is <strong>what package/library does support converting strings to certain character-sets efficiently?</strong></p>
  
  <p>An alike question is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6143418/exception-handling-for-common-lisp-package-enumeration">this one</a>, but just ignoring the error would not help in my case.</p>
