Unicode support in EA

[skiwi]

Can you clarify that.
I am able to create, save, and retrieve unicode characters in linked RTF documents
(note this is using Jet4 and SQL server 2003)



Note that this doesn't apply to the element however!.

I have just retested this in 8.0.

The behaviour is worse than in 7.5.

It appears to have either had no fixes, or some fixes regressed,
and certainly no testing.

I try to insert the characters [ch257][ch275][ch299][ch333][ch363] in name and note fields

In a requirement note field I get "âçîôû".
In a package name I get "aeiou".
In an RTF document I get "âçîôû".

I am so disappointed.

Ah...  The worst of all possible worlds...

An inconsistently incorrect system...

My commiserations, Simon.  

People used to wonder why I tested strings with special characters...

Specifically to reveal these sorts of problems.

It's possible the different aspects of EA are using different code pages.

I should have mentioned the underlying database is SQL Server 2005.
