UTF-8 issue

[Lorenz Knies]

Hi,

today I implemented your address book access widget for a client.
At a first test we had an issue with importing addresses from a yahoo account. The display name part contained typical sequences like 'ö', indicating that UTF-8 encoded strings had been taken as iso-8559-1 encoded strings.
Importing addresses containing characters in the non-us-ascii range from a gmail account worked without a hassle.
So i suspect that the error is on your side.

Any kind of feedback on this issue would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Lorenz

Hi Lorenz -

I was able to reproduce this in Yahoo address book to widget. (the name displayed does not appear correctly: Ćo Rënæ (for example))

I have your question into engineering.
