Re: display UTF-8 characters

[Ivan Vučica]

So if I see correctly, in SimpleAgenda month names are incorrectly decoded as 
if they were encoded in some singlebyte encoding? 

Are there other UTF8-related issues in SimpleAgenda? Did you see other 
UTF8-related issues in other apps?

Thank you for your report and responses :-)
