Re: Gtk2::Entry and accentuated chars

[Oger sia ucl ac be]

Still have problems with the accentuated characters coming from a widget.

If I try to print them, everything is OK but when I try to store them to a
mysql DB, I get garbage instead of accentuated chars.
However if I define a variable containing a string with such characters I
get them correctly in the DB.

I tried to encode them to iso-8859-1 with Encode without any result.

Has anyone an idea ?

regards,

Fred.

it's return type is const gchar * so you should be getting the UTF-8
string to begin with. unfortunately i barely speak/write english
(correctly) and it's my primary/only language so i can't help you much
more than that as i have no experience with utf-8 stuff.
