You'll still have to do that, I believe. When you store the string in 
Valentina only the text is stored, not any tags or other info used by 
RB "strings". That means the encoding byte(s) will be lost and you'll 
have to define the string as utf8 when you load it back in.

I'm eager to get started on this so I can finish an upgrade to my app, too...
