I remember a bug of this nature in the SQLite vCard backend being discussed a long time ago. Something to do with how the SQLite module handles UTF-8. 


I thought it'd been fixed, but I can't find anything in the (pretty 
short) revision history for the vCard plugin. Maybe there's a patch 
somewhere in the archive of this mailing list that didn't get committed?

Michail,

Let me copy some people that might help:

djabberd list, is this bug known/old and maybe already fixed?


Henry, can you open an internal LiveJournal bug for this, or route 
appropriately, perhaps to the LJ Russia team?

    Hi Brad,

    I'm not sure whether I should send this to you, or to LiveJournal
    support, hopefully you could help me on that :-)

    The bug I'm noticing is that when I ask for a vCard, string data is
    returned as UTF-8-incoded-in-latin1.

    Example:
    <GIVEN>Ибупрофен Коллайдерыч Ð¢ÐµÑ Ñ
    ерактов-ÐšÑ€Ð¸Ð·Ð¸Ð½Ñ </GIVEN>

    But the proper result should've been:
    <GIVEN>Ибупрофен Коллайдерыч Тессерактов-Кризинс</GIVEN>

    It's fairly easy to check whether that data is valid UTF8, and
    encode the data appropriately in such case.

    The bug's been around for a long time, and since it's still not
    fixed I'd like to know whether there are some serious technical
    reasons for it staying the way it was?

    Thanks!
