Hello, when inserting this RSS (http://servis.idnes.cz/rss.asp?c=mfd_k) into RSS widget then some characters are removed, for example č, í, ý, etc.

- Keywords simplepie needs-patch added
- Milestone changed from 3.0 to Future Release
The root cause of this is SimplePie, It seems to be striping the characters instead of converting them to html entities.
Moving to future release due to no patch.

The problem is that SimplePie tries to use mb_convert_encoding() without checking whether the encoding is supported. In this case, Windows-1250 isn't supported, so you lose all the special characters. You can check what is supported by calling mb_list_encodings().
Someone has reported the issue here: https://github.com/rmccue/SimplePie/issuesearch?state=open&q=encoding#issue/121 (second bit). But upstream development doesn't look very active.

I'm the SimplePie maintainer, so I'll look into this and report back.
