I have encountered the same issue just recently. I don't think it is an 
issue with Brian's script.

If you save the generated vCard to your desktop and open it with 
Notepad, all characters are fine. If you open the vCard on a Mac, it is 
fine too. It is only when you open the vCard with Windows Address Book 
or Outlook that the characters are broken. Probably due to the encoding 
used within Outlook. This is a common problem when using UTF-8 encoded 
content in Windows applications.

Cheers, Gordon
