Expat gives you the data in UTF-8

Here is a piece of code I use to convert it to ASCII:

void UTF8_to_ASCII(char *strpText)
 {
 int intA,intU;
    int intChar;

    intA=0;
    intU=0;


    while (strpText[intU]!=0)
     {
        intChar=(unsigned char)strpText[intU];
  switch (intChar)
         {
         case 0xc2:
                strpText[intA]=strpText[intU+1];
             intA++;
             intU+=2;
                break;

         case 0xc3:
                strpText[intA]=strpText[intU+1]+64;
             intA++;
             intU+=2;
                break;

            default:
             strpText[intA]=strpText[intU];
             intA++;
             intU++;
             break;
            }
  }
    strpText[intA]=0;
    }
