Pocket Query / GPX / UTF-8

[KoenigDickBauch]

Hi,

 

i think there is an error in the GPX-files.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
.
.
.
<desc>gut gebrüllt ... by G-e-c-k-o-s, Multi-cache (1.5/2.5)</desc>

.
.
.

 

the ü in gebrüllt is not UTF-8 encoded!

Which geocache is this?

the ü in gebrüllt is not UTF-8 encoded!

 

How do you know?

 

All the GPX files I've looked at have been correctly UTF-8 encoded. Including this one.

 

(The cache in question is GCXVE4. No problems here.)

I take a look with a normal Text Editor. And search for äs and ös! There are some GPX-Reader they know about this problem and have a workaround.

That's right.

The Notepad/Editor on Windows XP automatically switches to UTF-8 mode if it recognizes any UTF-8 character in the file. You can see the current encoding if you try "File > Save As" in Notepad.

I take a look with TexPad and Binary edit. The äs and ös are realy translatet autmaticaly by the editor. An this under Win98.
