Thanks. Until the extension can handle iso-8859-1 in addition to uft-8, I'll see if I can fix it by running the EPUB output through Python.

But why does it display accented characters with ?'s in the original EPUB output file?
Editing the EPUB file in Sigil to replace "utf-8" with "iso-8859-1" doesn't solve the problem: Now, the questions marks all turn into "ï¿½" :-/

I see that "é" in ANSI is 0xE9 and it's 0x00E9 in Unicode. So why can't the application display the original character, with just an empty character before it (as 0x00)? Does the extension convert 0xE9 to another character that's available in Unicode but not ANSI?
