Thanks RW,

That got me started at least.

So far:
    TRY wx = Conv(lp1[5], "UTF-8", "ASCII")
    TRY wx = Replace(wx, "½", ".5")
    TRY wx = Replace(wx, "¼", ".25")
    TRY wx = Replace(wx, "¾", ".75")
seems to work.

I had to put the TRY's in because 3/4 doesn't seem to handle properly 
otherwise.
