I suppose this is because the conversion assumes Latin-1 input, and it 
is acceptable given that String type should be in that encoding, but 
with a general string conversion library, like iconv, you can convert 
between any 8-bit character encoding and UTF-8.

Here an Ada binding to iconv (I haven't used it):

And Matreshka League has several 8-bit character encodings, although it 
lacks ISO-8859-15. It should be easy to add ISO-8859-15 based on ISO-8859-1:

But I guess what you are already doing is the easiest approach. It's 
just one character.
