> Node.js module to fix errors when converting Latin-1 encoded text to UTF-8

# Overview

When converting Latin-1 (or Windows-1252) encoded text to UTF-8, some characters may be incorrectly converted. This module fixes those errors.

## Installation

Install using `npm`:

```bash

npm i fix-latin1-to-utf8

```

## Example usage

Please refer to the [JSDoc comments in the source code](./src/index.js) or the [generated type definitions](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fix-latin1-to-utf8?activeTab=code) for information on the available options.

```js

const fixLatin1ToUtf8 = require("fix-latin1-to-utf8");

const latin1String =

	"This is a UTF-8 string that was converted from Latin-1‚ but the conversion was not great.";

const utf8String = fixLatin1ToUtf8(latin1String);

console.log(utf8String);

// This is a UTF-8 string that was converted from Latin-1, but the conversion was not great.

```
