Hi Eddy,
In VSP pages, if you are using the http_value() function to output you probably
need to make us of the charset_recode() function to convert the returned SPARQL
values to UTF8 as detailed at:
http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/fn_charset_recode.html#%28NULL%29
Using the http() function it will automatically produce output string in UTF8
format and is thus better to use, see:
http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/fn_http.html
I hope this helps, if not please provide some sample VSP code showing how you
are trying to displays the string data ...
Best Regards
Hugh Williams
