Problems with accented letters
July 16, 2013, 04:07:30 am
When I create or update a contact whose name contains accents (like e.g. René), the name is truncated till the first letter with an accent. ("Ren" in this case).
Is this a (known) bug or am I doing something wrong?

I attached some test code so you can simulate the problem.

My source file was indeed ansi encoded. I changed it to UTF-8 and now it works.
Problem solved.   :)

Thank you very much, Xavier!
