This function converts the string <parameter>data</parameter> from the
<literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> encoding to <literal>UTF-8</literal>.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Many web pages marked as using the <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> character
encoding actually use the similar <literal>Windows-1252</literal> encoding,
and web browsers will interpret <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal> web pages as
<literal>Windows-1252</literal>. <literal>Windows-1252</literal> features
additional printable characters, such as the Euro sign
(<literal></literal>) and curly quotes (<literal></literal>
<literal></literal>), instead of certain <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>
control characters. This function will not convert such
<literal>Windows-1252</literal> characters correctly. Use a different
function if <literal>Windows-1252</literal> conversion is required.
