Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding UTF-8 characters.
For context, I'm working on a PowerBuilder application which uses Chilkat to get mails from an adress to import attached files into our database.
However, we problems when we get mails from an apple device which contain special characters.
In my case the filename is "Umlaute_öäüÄÖÜ_ipad.jpeg". These characters are not the usual "ö" etc. but actually two separate characters "o¨".
When I save this filename in our ansi database the filename is turned into the following: "Umlaute_o¨a¨u¨A¨O¨U¨_ipad.jpeg".
Can anybody tell me how I can handle these characters to save them properly?
I tried
string(blob(ls_filename,encodingutf8!),encodingansi!)
but this just gives me "Umlaute_öäüÄÖÜ_ipad.jpeg", which is still very wrong.
Sorry if there is a really obvious solution, I appreciate any help I get :)
