  <p>I have a problem with encoding in PHP, for example i want</p>
  
  <p><code>Orléans</code> to be transformed in <code>Orleans</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Angoulême</code> to <code>Angouleme</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Ň</code> to <code>N</code></p>
  
  <p>... and so on see the table here</p>

  <p>Is there a solution to this? And also when the script encounter a non [A-Z] character to make it XML ENTITY.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
