--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- Using digiKam 8.7.0 pre-release under MacOS, the IPTC wrong encoding char is reproducible. But in fact there is not IPTC tag about the encoding to respect. So digiKam use ASCII by default. >From ExifTool : https://exiftool.org/TagNames/IPTC.html "CodedCharacterSet string[0,32]! (values are entered in the form "ESC X Y[, ...]". The escape sequence for UTF-8 character coding is "ESC % G", but this is displayed as "UTF8" for convenience. Either string may be used when writing. The value of this tag affects the decoding of string values in the Application and NewsPhoto records. This tag is marked as "unsafe" to prevent it from being copied by default in a group operation because existing tags in the destination image may use a different encoding. When creating a new IPTC record from scratch, it is suggested that this be set to "UTF8" if special characters are a possibility)" The last sentence from this tag description is clear : the tag must be included in the IPTC chunk, but it's not...
