[Gambas-user] umlauts and other special characters

[Hans-Martin Böhme]

Uh, the version i use is gambas 1.9.91.

I played around a bit and saw while debugging and spectating my application 
that 'DBCHARSET = $hConn.Charset' gets "UTF-8", what is not right. if I can 
believe the dump from mysql. It says "latin1" as the used charset.

If i dump the DB with mysqldump 
using '--mysqldump --user=x --password=y --default-character-set=latin1 
mytestdb > ~/storeithere.dump' it works. All characters are the right ones in 
the dump.

I debugged and looked into the characters gambas gets from mysql. They are not 
printable and looks like 2 squares. The wrong characters i get when i dump it 
without the --default-character-set look like 'ä' for an german  "ä"  for 
example.

Any help will be great!
