What an arrogant answer! I read it like: "You should have known that UTF8String was just introduced to later make it incompatible to all system routines. It was just there to irk programmers." Why wasn't it mentioned before that you should not use it? And what was the purpose of UTF8String (and what is it now)? >> I have now to move back to type STRING and >> somehow (did not find out yet) tell the system >> that STRING should be UTF-8 all the time. > > "did not find out yet" -- it means you still did not read the wiki page. :( > Why not? Again a very arrogant attitude. I read it dozen of times but it is totally confusing and contradicting. > Still, in most cases our new UTF-8 system "just works". I see how "it works".
