cleanup cp1252 chars between 127 and 160

How to best cleanup cp1252 characters between 127 (80) and 160 (9F)

[bwakkie]

I have the following function:

function clean_up_cp1252($str){
$badlatin1_cp1252_to_htmlent = array("\x80"=>"€","\x81"=>'?',"\x82"=>'‚',"\x83"=>'ƒ',"\x84"=>'„', "\x85"=>'…',"\x86"=>'†',"\x87"=>'‡', "\x88"=>'ˆ',"\x89"=>'‰',"\x8A"=>'Š', "\x8B"=>'‹',"\x8C"=>'Œ',"\x8D"=>'?', "\x8E"=>'Ž',"\x8F"=>'?',"\x90"=>'?',"\x91"=>'‘',"\x92"=>'’',"\x93"=>'“', "\x94"=>'”',"\x95"=>'•',"\x96"=>'–', "\x97"=>'—',"\x98"=>'˜',"\x99"=>'™', "\x9A"=>'š',"\x9B"=>'›',"\x9C"=>'œ', "\x9D"=>'?',"\x9E"=>'ž',"\x9F"=>'Ÿ');
$str = strtr($str, $badlatin1_cp1252_to_htmlent);
return $str;
}

It suppose to clean-up word pasted text in a form.
It works almost...
when someone pastes a € (Euro) sign it gets replaced in a strange way: € So with the extra â and ¬ around it
How can I solve this? What am I missing?

In vim it does work like this:
(I used it to cleanup a mysql dump)
