Well, character with ANSI code 149 has Unicode code 8226.

As I understand (http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html), ISO-8859-1

includes Windows ANSI_CHARSET characters in range 160..255. So the character

149 is not in it (is there a hole 128..160 inISO-8859-1?), and cannot be

converted to a single character directly.

I think that in this case it must be inserted in XML as an Unicode entity:

• or converted to some default character (for example, to '?')

This is a work for converter, I believe.
