 Widget for RSS dont identify correct coding of RSS imported. It mantains
 the same coding of original RSS. As I use UTF-8 in my site, ISO RSS will
 be corrupted. So I adapted my widgets.php

 function detectUTF8($string) {
         return preg_match('%(?:
         [\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]        # non-overlong 2-byte
         |\xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]               # excluding overlongs
         |[\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}      # straight 3-byte
         |\xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF]               # excluding surrogates
         |\xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2}    # planes 1-3
         |[\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3}                  # planes 4-15
         |\xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2}    # plane 16
         )+%xs', $string);
 }

 if(!detectUTF8($desc)) { $desc = utf8_encode($desc); }
 if(!detectUTF8($summary)) { $summary = utf8_encode($summary); }
 if(!detectUTF8($title)) { $title = utf8_encode($title); }

 But I think that ideal would be that widgets could convert RSS to the
 coding of choice in the Options menu of Admin. In my case, UTF.

 Sorry for my poor english,
 Camilo
