Strange Characters in Feed

We have run across a few Wordpress sites that end up with strange characters displayed between letters.

The problem is caused when the content type of the page is defined to a character set.
example: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

Defining the character set is good practice, but in order to make the RemedyConnect content module code work with special characters, you must add the following function to the sample PHP code.

Replace:
echo $varResult;

With:
echo utf8_decode($varResult);
