Hi,
You just need to find out if they're using a Roman or Cyrillic
character set.
If Roman, convert from ISO-8859-2 (Central/Eastern European.)
If Cyrillic, convert from ISO-8859-5.
The first "page" of unicode is basically ISO-8859-1 (Western European)
that's why it screws up just trying to use just the low 8 bits.
Hope this helps...
