[Bluez-devel] Accented characters in friendly name properly handled in BlueZ?

[Bluez-devel] Accented characters in friendly name properly handled in BlueZ?

[Pierre-Yves Paulus]

Hello,

I'm using the D-Bus API to get the friendly name of a terminal wich name 
contains accented chars. In the String I get, each accented character 
(eg not a 1-byte ASCII char) gets replaced by 2 chars, each with value 0x2e.

Is the problem coming from BlueZ or from the D-Bus bindings layer? Where 
should I look to get a clue?

Best Regards,
Pierre-Yves

It's a bug in the validation code responsible for storing the 
friendly name. It has been fixed in the 3.8 release.

Thanks for the fast answer. I will upgrade soon then (am currently using 
3.7).
