vCard - unicode

[author]

I have a vCard-file contain unicode, if I view the file in notepad, I
see the right char. But if I import it in Outlook (test with 2000 and
2002), then I see the unicode (2 char).

Any idea ??



Here is the vCard....
--
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Name;My;;;
FN:My Name
ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;unicode begin æ ø å unicode end;;;;
END:VCARD

It seems to work OK in Outlook 2003, which is the first version to have full
Unicode support.

I tried to install a 2003 as standard, and can't see it works here
either. I don't belief I'm the first person in this world, with this
problem. Know any other group with better luck to ask this ??

Thx.

Can you attach a small vCard that illustrates the issue?

Did you get anything out of it ??

Definitely looks broken in ANSI .pst files, but I need to test further in
Unicode .pst files and Exchange mailboxes.

Do you have a reference for the "unicode begin ... unicode end" syntax in
your sample? I couldn't find anything in the RFCs on that. Outlook 2003, in
fact, doesn't encode the characters when it saves them a contact as a vCard,
e.g.:

ADR;WORK:;;;æ, ø

[let's see if those actually come through or if they're escaped into two
characters as your post came through here]

I have used this reference:
http://www.imc.org/pdi/pdiproddev.html

The "unicode begin ... unicode end" is not an syntax, just some text
to tell me that here comes unicode-chars.

But this syntax should tell it's unicode (UTF-8)
ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8:
....but as you know, it not seam to work that well

ADR;WORK:;;;æ, ø

In this post, I see the correct chars.... but you know, if I view the
vcf-file in notepad, I also see the correct chars.

Of course if I manual save the "correct" chars it would work for me
here, but the data behind comes from a database, with the type of
unicode. And the writer-object writes it as unicode.
