Yes, but it seems the issue is that the reading software you've chosen for viewing the TXT file is assuming one encoding and the file was created with another.

The solution may well be opening the antique TXT file in a more flexable text editor (e.g. TextWrangler for Mac, Notepad++ for Windows, ...) and using their options of (re)open the file using specific encoding (trial-and-terror time) until you find the one that works and then resaving the file using UTF-8, which is the common choice today for web pages and ebooks.
