CakePHP and database charsets

Hi all,

Im trying to import some data from external databases to my application
database.

My cakephp app and my database are configured to use utf8. The data that I
need to import is in latin1 charset, so when I read it, all special
characters are replaced by "?", and some queries are not being executed
because of that.

I need to read with latin1 charset and write using the default utf8. Is that
possible? How?

In this case I'm reading from ms access using odbc.

Thanks all!
