how to solve this problem

I have a similar issue, but as far as I know, this only impacts me in currency symbols such as €.
For example: I'm able to retrieve information stored as follows: SALºÓòéç'N exactly the same way in UTF8 (Database ISO8859-1).

But when I request the € symbol, I receive a non representative symbol in UTF8.
If I convert that symbol to hex I get 'c2 80'

Buffer.from('c280','hex').toString() gives me ' '
Then I tried to use iconv.
iconv.decode(Buffer.from(currency.symbol, 'utf8'), 'WINDOWS-1252')
where currency.symbol is actually the value received from the database.
The conversion results in: €
Close but not correct enough. I can't understand why there's an extra 'c2' at the beginning of the field value. ANSI represents € as 0x80.

Here are some screenshots.

I think here the problem either in libfbclient or in nodejs. I do not do any special charset conversions....
