Re: Some strings corrupted when inserting into liststore model

[Jeremy Volkening <jdv base2bio com>]

In the case of your example script, you need 'use utf8;' in the preamble. This fixes handling of the 
hard-coded unicode characters in the script -- it won't necessarily fix the issue with the strings coming 
from your database. Are you certain they are being stored in the database correctly?
