Unable to display French characters in RSS feed without encoding errors

I am trying to display the contents of an RSS feed with sample data as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<rss version="2.0">

The feed is encoded as ISO-8859-1. I have tried two scripts to 开发者_运维知识库display the feed on my site and it doesn't appear correct. I noticed that even when viewing the XML file in my browser the characters are not displayed properly.

I have used two different JavaScript solutions to display the feed on my site and neither of them display the characters properly either.

Does anyone know a pre-built RSS to HTML script in any language that will encode the incoming XML file properly?

If not, any suggestions on how I can encode it properly myself?

I ran into a similar problem before.

You will need to change the charset in your HTML.

This worked for me.

<meta charset="ISO-8859">

EDIT

Just noticed this too... your description content is garbled. You will need to re-enter it in your text-editor or whatever you are using to code. Looks like that program/application mangled it. Could be part of the reason nothing is working.

Also, you should consider changing the French characters to ascii or hex values, like

téléphonique

to
