Hi all,
I am trying to convert an HTML page that includes accent characters into
unicode. Is there a way to do this is Common Lisp?

Yes. Unless you need to verify the correctness of the input or need some
output format other than HTML, a simple algorithm that replaces strings
using a table (eg "&eacute" -> "é") should suffice.

Search for the terms "replace string" in the c.l.l archives (eg using
Google groups).
