Accented letters not detected on HTML import
When I import an HTML file into Sigil which is encoded for the 1252 character set, "extended" characters such as accented letters, dashes, etc, all end up being displayed as a little "diamond" with a question mark in it by Sigil. Is there any way to support the recognition of these characters?
[I've checked the issues log, and can't see any mention of this.] |

I suspect that might be an enhancement request to support non-unicode encodings.
Should be simple to save the doc in UTF-8 before opening in Sigil regardless. |

Create an issue and attach a file illustrating this (the smaller the file, the better). |

I've raised issue #74, with a one-paragraph sample HTML file which illustrates the problem. It contains the word "protégée"; on import into Sigil, the two letters with accents are replaced with "?" in a diamond.
