Is there a ready script/function that will convert ASCII text to UTF-8?

ASCII is a subset of UTF-8: the character codes are the same.

Thanks Adam. actually the problem I'm facing is that users are using a webform
to send Hebrew chars on a windows-1255 encoded page. The form content then get
<cfmail>ed using the default utf-8 (CFMX 6.1) and the message is shown as
squares. Any workaround you know of?

If you do a search of these forums on "special characters", you'll get more
info than you can shake a stick at.

This issue did the rounds (and round and round and round!) a coupla years
ago, so the info is all there.

it would be better to use unicode than a windows codepage. but if you
must, cfmail has a charset option, use that (along w/the other cf
encoding hints like cfprocessingdirective, etc.).
