[mythtv-users] Non-ASCII characters in mythmessage/mythutil

[peper03 at yahoo.com]

Hi,

Is there any way to display a message containing non-ASCII characters using mythutil --message?  I'm passing in a UTF-8 encoded string but it doesn't appear to be parsed as UTF-8.  Instead the extended characters appear as two characters (so processed using a single-byte character set).

For example:

ö appears as ö
é appears as é

I've tried changing the LANG environment variable but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Richard.
