Thanks for the detailed

Thanks for the detailed information--

Screen-scraper will try to detect the encoding of the page automatically, but since it's not working for this page, I would change your global encoding to match the page's encoding. In the screen shot you gave, it was still ISO-8859-1. I would change this to also be "UTF-8". Usually this is all that is needed.

Let me know if that fixes it-- encoding is usually pretty tricky!
