Any names with these characters in them do not display in widgets - they
are blank.
No errors, just blank. The wxwidgets .so should be unicode.
Yes, they are.
What am I missing ?????
Are you sure that the strings you read from the database have the
Unicode flag set when read from the database? You can use the Dump()
function from Devel::Peek to check if the scalar has the Unicode bit set.
If the Unicode bit is not set on the scalar, the conversion from Perl
scalar to wxString should use the encoding of your current locale, but I
can't remember if if uses the system locale or (more likely) the locale
set with wxLocale.
