Accents for Names is appearing with odd characters

 have an HR File with First and Last Names. Some of them are coming through my reporting out (I don't have a way to modify this easily) with odd representation for letters with special accents. etc.

 

For example, a first name shows up like this

But it should look like this.

I would like to try not have to create a formula that accounts for all possible combinations of special characters globally. Is there a quick fix?

The string with UTF8. I have attached a macro which should decode it back.
