[Openmcl-devel] string encoding problem

[Mark Klein]

I had a set of UTF-8 strings (ukrainian text) that I mistakenly wrote to disk as iso-8659-1, and then read back into clozure as UTF-8, so my strings get messed up e.g. into

Економічні реформи України

Is there some way to recover the original Ukrainian text?

   Thanks!
