Converting special characters

Hi,

We are using a SAP CRM system that is not configured as 'unicode'. When we receive external data that is for instance latin-2 (example: Ĺ ĺ Ń ń). The characters are converted to #-signs.

BUT if i copy past the characters: ĹĺŃń in a random screenfield in SAP the charcters are converted to: LlNn. Now I would like to use that functionality in my ABAP program. How can this be done? When I recieve ĹĺŃń I would like a conversion step that outputs: LlNn

Now I have found the function module SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS. I have problems converting all the characters to a readable equal character. For instance the Ų characters is translated to the replacement character... I am using 4110 as the UTF-8 input file. Any ideas on which code page to convert to? (1180 is the best I have found yet)
