---- encoding issue with "Share on Facebook" link

hi there,

I thought it would be straight forward to add a "Share on Facebook" link to my site.
For each page of content that people wish to share, I'd have a dynamic link as follow: [facebook.com...]

easy huh?

Now here is my problem.
My websites is encoded in ISO-8859-1 whereas Facebook is encoded in UTF-8. So when I "share" a page of my site on fb, it comes up in Facebook with rather silly characters.

Anyone has ever experienced a similar problem?
Any help would be really appreciated.

thanks,
