Emory University and Boston College are working on a joint project to
encode our collections relating to Irish literature.  We have
encountered a number of names, etc which contain special
characters/diacritics.  We are wondering if anyone has developed a way
(routine) to take special characters from MSWord and translate them to
unicode entities?  If yes, would you be willing to share?  Many thanks!
