Re: utf8 database not dumping utf8 characters

[Matt Williams <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran it through xxd and the hex-bytes are different than those of the proper utf8 character:

03300a0: 7472 c383 c2b6 6d65 7209 3009 5c4e 0931  tr....mer.0.\N.1 (from the dump file)

ö : c3b6

ö : c383 c2b6

With that same dump file that is displaying incorrectly open in vim, I

I usually find a good first step is to run the file through something

that will give you a hex dump (i.e. xxd or similar) and so I *know* the

actual bytes in the file rather than relying on how they may be

interpreted somewhere else along the chain. Find the hex-byte(s) of your

suspect character and look it up.

Since you are in vim, it may be worth checking ":set termencoding",

":set encoding" and ":set fileencoding".
