Inserting UTF-16 values in V4RB2

[Dave Addey]

Hi all,

I¹ve just found that I can¹t use UTF-16 strings with V4RB 2.3.  I did the
following:

inDatabase.Table("TestTable").VarCharField("TestVarChar").Value =
insertString

...where insertString.Encoding is UTF-16. REALbasic can handle this string
fine.  When I check the value of VarCharField, it is not set to the string I
used ­ it seems to be blank, or maybe full of non-printable characters.

If I convert the encoding to UTF-8 first, then it works fine.

Is this a known issue?  If V4RB can't cope with UTF-16 strings, shouldn't
Valentina convert the text to UTF-8 before storing it?  Do I always have to
check that my strings are UTF-8?

Dave.
