I thought I replied to this earlier, but I don't see it in the

ISO-8859-1 is a limited encoding, only handling Unicode code points up
to 255. Some of the characters you show above are beyond this range.
I'd guess your input encoding should be a Windows-specific code page,
cp-1252 or something similar. This link has info:

For input or output?

All of Unicode is supported by Docutils. You just have to get the
encodings right.

Determine what encoding your input text is really using.
