Perhaps it's more a UTF8 issue that is going wrong for me.
At first strtr() was not giving me the results I wanted, so I started
tinkering. This is what I came up with... Still no satisfactory
results.
I think character support is rather lacking in php, or maybe I just
don't have a clue?

I was hoping for a function or something so I would not have to loop

anyway...
Thanks for the quick reply!
