And, as of LC9, there was a generic issue with revXML and Unicode. See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18942

I have no idea if this was ever resolved. The bug has been "Hibernated"

Nope, when I process the data without using the xml library, all
characters display fine. The problem is really with revXML.
There must be a trick for using revXML with UTF8 file format.

Look up textEncode and textDecode in the dictionary. Text from or to a
file needs to be decoded or encoded since LC 7.

Hi list,

I have an xml file with lots of non-western characters
(greek, arabic, japanese...). I need to convert these
data into sql requests to insert into a DB.
For each node, I need to pick only some attributes, so
I wrote a script that :
- opens the file as utf8
- processes each node
- writes a file as utf8 with the processed data.

My problem is that all non-western characters appear as
???? in the final file.
Should I use unidecode for each revXMLNodeContents ?
What am I missing ?

Thank you in advance.
jbv
