Setting Charset on Nginx PHP virtual host

Hello Francis,

You are right, the charset map is missing and specified in the nginx log 
error file:

/2019/08/02 12:53:42 [error] 19151#19151: *28013 no "charset_map" 
between the charsets "UTF-8" and "iso-8859-1" while reading response 
header from upstream, client: .../

I have found 3 charset maps in my nginx default install, but none for 
iso-8859-1 to utf8 conversion:
koi-utf, koi-win, win-utf

So I tried in http with empty charset_map:
         charset_map iso-8859-1 utf-8 { }
But special characters like é are displayed with ?

Where to find a charset_map?

Thank you for your help,
Vincent.
