Submitting utf-8 to iso-8859-1 from server a to server b issue

I don't really know how else to ask this, here is the scenario

On server A, it is in utf-8, I have a search form on server A which submits to server b which is in iso-8859-1. So when I submit a french word like "Carrières" by the time it gets to server B it comes out as "Carrières".

I cannot change the encoding on server A or B, so is there a way to submit it from A and still get the right query on B? I can only edit server A files.

I tried converting it to html entities before submit but that comes out as is. I tried to add enctype to the form element (enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ISO-8859-1") but it does not seem to work. I also tried the accept charset which seems to work on everything except IE (accept-charset="ISO-8859-1").

Is there anything else I can try other than those? Maybe something for IE only so i can use the accept charset method?

I can use jquery 1.4.2

Wrote a little bit of server side script using java to solve this, did not find any JS solutions
