Has anyone got any ideas? Unfortunately, this isn't an inconvience for
us - this
is a show stopper.
Trying to move off perltk and the new Guis are looking good, but if we
can not display
unicode characters wxperl is dead for us :-(

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.
