Hi,
I am writing a script in Perl (using Gtk2 and mySQL [OpenSUSE 11.1]) and I have a problem concerning special characters such as umlaute. I am using Gtk2-Entries to enter text which is then written into a mySQL-table. When entering text, every special character is displayed correctly and written into the table (which I controlled using mysql from the command line). But when I load the respective storage record from the table to be displayed once again in the above-mentioned Gtk2-Entry, the special character is not correctly displayed. I think this has to be a Gtk2-specific problem, as printing the text from the database on the console (using Perl) works just fine. I tried to “use utf8” and to “SET character_set_results/_client/_connection” to “latin1” or “utf8”, but this didn’t change anything (only the type of character displayed instead of the intended one changed).
Has anybody any idea how this problem could be solved?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
