Special chars to UTF-8

Hi, I have array with words that contain special characters found in German language
and I'd like to convert that array to UTF-8 encoded words equivalent.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi pulsar777!
The code found on the Internet, but I don't understand either.

Code:

---

Sub Test()
Debug.Print Sp2Utf8("special characters") 'you can input special characters here
End Sub
Function Sp2Utf8(szCode As String)
    With CreateObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
        .Language = "JavaScript"
        .addcode "function decode(str){return escape(str).replace(/%/g,'\\')}"
        Sp2Utf8 = .Eval("decode('" & szCode & "')")
    End With
End Function

Thanks man ! Even the regular expressions you posted don't do the trick.
I found out those inputs to database are iso-8859-2 encoded, but db automatically changes it to utf-8 (coverts special chars to weird symbols)
And I think that's why it cannot convert those symbols back from db to front-end.

Use:

Code:

---

Private Declare Function OemToCharA Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal lpszSrc As String, ByVal lpszDst As String) As Long

Public Function F_ASC_ANS(ByVal Text As String) As String
  OemToCharA Text, Text
  F_ASC_ANS = Text
End Function

Sub M_snb()
  MsgBox F_ASC_ANS("äëïöüß")
End Sub
