Re: utf-8

[Viveka Nathan K <vivek lantana tenet res in>]

Thanks Naoh. 
   I have one more doubt.  If we give 8bit value in the input (gtk), whether it is converted to UTF-8, before it gets stored ? Can we store the 8-bit value as it is (instead of converting to UTF-8) in GTK applications ? 

with regards
