```bash
npm i fix-latin1-to-utf8
```

## API

## Example usage

```js
const fixLatin1ToUtf8 = require("fix-latin1-to-utf8");

const latin1String =
	"This is a UTF-8 string that was converted from Latin-1‚ but the conversion was not great.";
const utf8String = fixLatin1ToUtf8(latin1String);

console.log(utf8String);
// This is a UTF-8 string that was converted from Latin-1, but the conversion was not great.
