Antwort: UTF8 Japanese characters in macros

[チャンドラ]

Sascha,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, /usr/bin/printf works with the UTF8 strings I am trying to use.  I 
have tried /bin/echo as well (which also has no problems from the 
command line) with the same results, so I think it is a problem with way 
the strings are stored in the macro.
