This is a core hack and you should use it with caution and on your own risk

 If you want to change the page encoding of your joomla site from UTF-8 to ISO-859-1 you can do this  by editing

[....]/libraries/joomla/factory.php

 search for 'utf-8'

 you will find something like :

         $attributes = array (
            'charset'    => 'utf-8',
            'lineend'    => 'unix',
            'tab'        => '  ',
            'language'    => $lang->getTag(),
            'direction'    => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
        );

 replace it with

        $attributes = array (
            'charset'    => 'iso-8859-1',
            'lineend'    => 'unix',
            'tab'        => '  ',
            'language'    => $lang->getTag(),
            'direction'    => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
        );
