I'm looking for pseudocode, or sample code, to convert higher bit ascii characters (like, Ü which is extended ascii 154) into U (which is ascii 85).

My initial guess is that since there are only about 25 ascii characters that are similar to 7bit ascii characters, a translation array would have to be used.

Let me know if you can think of anything else.
