You could convert the offending characters into HTML entities, although
that restricts the usage to HTML only:

$string = str_replace('£','£',$string);

You can also use PHP to convert encodings, and several text editors
(including Microsoft Notepad!).

You'll have to use the simplest encoding for your data that the client
server can handle.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings might help.

Cheers!
