 To reproduce, install the latest WP version, add a RSS widget with the
 following address (or any other windows-1255 encoded feed):
 http://www.ynet.co.il/Integration/StoryRss1854.xml

 You will get only the non Hebrew characters.
 It's not a problem with Hebrew because if you try it on another Hebrew
 feed but this time utf-8 encoded, it works great. Example:
 http://mizbala.com/?feed=rss2

 This problem is not only in the widget, it's also in the fetch_feed
 function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed

 And probably any other WordPress RSS fetching code.

 Or maybe there is a way to specify that the source is encoded with
 windows-1255? I tried some stuff but it didn't work out.
