Now of what help shall that be? Get rid of all accented characters? 
Sorry, but that surely is the dumbest thing to do here - and has 
_nothing_ to do with standards! Charactersets with codepoints > 128 are 
pretty common and well standarized, just not "ascii". I suggset you read 
up on the topic of unicode & encodings a bit - and then fix some code of 
yours...
