encoding values on DCR

Renata

has anyone encoutered problems with saving the French characters on a DCR?

I mean they render fine within DCR, but as soon as we try to assess its xml record and via parsing in a script, read the values out of that DCR, the French characters come in all sort of strange encoding formats.

Could anyone suggest how to ensure that these values are in fact saved with UTF-8 encoding?

thanks in advance -- RO

Im having similar problems with extended characters.

It definitely has to be encoding, i know the version of perl being used isnt very complete in terms if utf8.

I still havent found a proper fix.

Instead im using regex's to catch the character id (/302/242 etc) and put them back in place with html encoded characters.

Id be keen to hear any help aswell.
