> I'm trying to display unicode data (hebrew, to be precise) in MythTV EPG.
> All my atempts failed - I always see latin1 encoding instead of UTF.
> All hebrew letters are displayed as either latin extended characters (like ??????> AE> ?????????? etc...), or as two characters (in case of UTF encoding).
> I know that my fonts are fine, because I see all date related stuff in EPG (day of the week, month) in hebrew.

> According to unicode.org, hebrew letter 'alef' is represented by code 05D0 in UTF-8.
> However, if I put this code in mythconverg.program.title, I see two characters on EPG (instead of expected one).
> I'd really appreciate if someone could give working example of ANY unicode character displayed in EPG.
