You need the "wstring.decode" function (it converts to a wstring
instance, you can convert to "utf-8" afterwards).

From its doc-string:

	Decodes a wide string when given an encoding and a string.
	The encoding must be an alias, a mapping table, a function or
	built-in.
	Optional flags have encoding-dependent semantics.

You use 'ISO_8859-1' to indicate a iso-8859-1 encoding
(ATTENTION: case is significant!).
