Special character bug fix

Fixed the bug by changing the hard-coded encoding from the old
ISO-8895-I toUTF-8. The encoding could not be inferred from the xml so
it had to be hard-coded, however when the encoding was changed to UTF-8,
the hard-coded portion was not changed along with it.  -Michael Singh
