Description

RCT2 uses a customised version of ISO-8859-1 which replaces several characters with Polish ones.

RCT1 does not. As such, we need a separate mapping table for RCT1 saves.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing RCT2 ISO-8859-1 mapping table and the save-loading path that selects it. Compare the RCT1 and RCT2 character mappings, then add the RCT1-specific table and verify that RCT1 saves decode without the Polish substitutions.
