You can use $wgLang->iconv(), which is a wrapper around iconv (if
available) or utf8_decode/utf8_encode as a hacky fallback if iconv is
not available. $wgInputEncoding store the encoding internally used.
Since UTF-8 to Latin-1 conversion is lossy, you should only do this if
it's really necessary and you are unable to process Unicode text.
