our database and website pages only support Latin1
As Corion explained, what you've asked for can't be done since the set of possible characters in UTF8 is much bigger than the set of possible characters in Latin-1.
HTML does allow you to represent any character regardless of the encoding. For example, the character 'Ā' is not in Latin-1 but you can include it in HTML with Ā. However that would only work if you stored HTML encoded text in your database - which would be an odd thing to do.
By far the best answer is to update your database and web pages to UTF8.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
