Unicode support

Hi, All my Chinese characters turns into ??. It's probably the database encoding not set to UTF-8. Could this be supported? It should be quite easy to just change the settings. Thanks! :)

Because we did not start with Unicode support, changing it is a complex issue. We are in the process of moving large sets of data from our existing databases to new databases to solve some this and a few other design problems. It's not as easy as changing-some-settings due to the very very large amounts of data stored in our backend systems. We hope to have this migration complete in the next few weeks.

I see, does it mean we'll have unicode next few weeks? Also, is there any guide for me to learn where I can change the title etc in xcode?

Hi Elsa.. Can you kindly help us? If you have a moment, please type a few sentances in your native language (character set) in a PLAIN TEXT document. Send this plain text file as an attachment to info 'at' buzztouch.com. This will help us make some progress on the Unicode support. Thanks tons!

Just a plain text document, like Miscrosoft Text Edit or Mac's Text Editor. Just a simple document that's not produced from a Word Processor. Word Processors introduce many formatting characters that cannot be seen, we're just looking for the text. Thanks again.

File sent! Sorry, didn't understand you want a plain text file from me, I thought you want something generated in buzztouch :)
