The fourth argument to Xutf8TextListToTextProperty is the desired
encoding of the text property, i.e. the encoding in which the text is
transferred to the client. Even old traditional clients should cope
with COMPOUND_TEXT properties. So I'd try this:
char* input = ...;
XTextProperty textprop;
if (Xutf8TextListToTextProperty(display, &input, 1, XCompoundTextStyle, &textprop)
!= Success) {
fprintf(stderr,"Xutf8TextListToTextProperty failed\n");
return;
}
assert(textprop.format == 8);
assert(textprop.encoding == XA_COMPOUND_TEXT);
char* output = (char*) textprop.value;
int output_len = textprop.nitems;
