Re: Some strings corrupted when inserting into liststore model

[Daniel Kasak <d j kasak dk gmail com>]

Right. I found a hack on https://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode ( which
you directed me to ) that appears to have fixed *this* particular
issue ( though it's not clear what I've then broken as a result )
Calling:

Encode::_utf8_on($_)

 ... for every value just prior to being pushed into the model appears
to work. Yay :)

Thanks!
