I didn't look at the website mentioned in the initial post nor was it
clear what the person was talking about, but I too have an inklink thats
what they were talking about.  If that's the case here, this should prove
handy:

         $Data = preg_replace('/[\x07\x95]/', '-', $Data);
         $Data = preg_replace('/\x85/', '...', $Data);
         $Data = preg_replace('/[\x91\x92]/', '\'', $Data);
         $Data = preg_replace('/[\x93\x94]/', '"', $Data);
