I know, I know... sorry, but we Germans have a few extra letters in our alphabet...
Has anybody taken the time to look into Julian's SIXX port on VASTGoodies? It writes XML files with Umlauts (instead of Unicode entries), but doesn't read them back in nicely.
When you stream out a String containing the Word "Türzarge" using #sixxString, the XML output looks fine (on the same machine, because it is in the local charset), but reading it back in with #readSIXXFrom: it becomes "Trzarge".
I must say I never stumbled upon this problem over the years (there was an older version of SIXX available for many years that we used), but only because the data we serialized was in english ;-)
So I guess this is just another occasion that underlines the importance of Unicode support for VAST and a glimpse at what gigantic mountain of work lies ahead of us to make use of it when it's available...
