How do you handle YOUR encodings?

Yes. But indexed searches don't work. And I don't think 
case-insensitive searches will reliably work in other languages (like 
Greek) using the UPPER or LOWER in a method trick because Valentina 
1.x doesn't know how to deal with UTF-8 letters that don't fall in 
the ASCII range.

UTF-8 sorts won't reliably work for non-Roman languages, either (and 
perhaps will give odd results for some accented Roman characters as 
well).

These are among the reasons that the upcoming Unicode support in 
Valentina 2.x will be so welcome.
