I'm working on a PayPal IPN module, and PayPal returns a lot of data in a GET call. The problem is that international characters entered by a user on the PayPal site gets encoded really weird, and I don't see an obvious way to decode them, can someone please assist? My website is running utf-8 all over. The URL contains this variable: &memo=Pr%EF%BF%BDvar It should translate into &memo=Prövar I've run out of ideas on this really.. PayPal say the reply is encoded in "windows-1252". Thanks, Anders.
