The output from 'perl -C' suggests to me - and I maybe wrong - that the
string is indeed unicode.
Also, the strings are displayed correctly in the Perl Tk app I am
replacing, so I think they are good.
Assuming this IS unicode - how do I correct this ??
I know very little about locale and how that effects the widgets.
Sorry about my ignorance, but Idon't understand what you are suggesting
I do :
> 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.
Thanks.

Adding the output from perl -C says to me - and I maybe wrong - that the
string is indeed unicode.
I don't mind forcing the widgets to

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.
HTH,
