Yes, but the encoding is quite different, even in the lower 256 bytes, where
if I'm correct (after some extensive searches) it seems that, if something
is using ISO8859, it is not possible to change it directly to UTF8, and vice
verca, without further proccessing.

The problem I had was that a piece of SW used 8859, and the system was using
UTF8, henceproblem in encoding when data was stored and retreived from a
sql-db.
After changing in i18n to 8859, everything seems to work ok.
