Tk Library Source Code

This problem is best explained with the screenshot I attached.

In my case all Chinese characters are broken, I think other multibyte UTF-8 string data should also be broken. Easily reproducible, we have this problem on Windows as well as Linux (where the screenshot was taken). The screenshot was taken from a system with UTF-8 locale setting.

Thanks for your support. I could not understand it but the fix does work for me (using encoding convertfrom utf-8).

Reason I could not understand it: I used to code in php and from there the data obtained from ldap search is UTF-8. I especially don't know what sense it make to convert from utf-8 when current locale is utf-8, which means converting from utf-8 to utf-8 solves the problem! But anyway thanks for quick respons, two days later we have big problem delaying the business.

The results of an ldap search are not autoconverted, because they might be binary data and not utf-8 encoded, for example jpegPhoto attributes or similar things.

Please check if you get the correct result if you apply [encoding convertfrom utf-8 $data] to the results you get. If that is the case this is the expected behaviour, if not its really a bug.

The ldapx package has some helpers to do this automatically, see the documentation at:
http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/ldapx.html especially the -utf8 option.
