Unicode

Information for people who used an older FullRecall version than 1.2.x and used diactric characters.

FullRecall in version 1.2 (and above; and all PocketFullRecall versions), use Unicode character encoding (UTF-8). In order to convert learning-database to Unicode, you have to convert character encoding only in elements.xml file to UTF-8 (when FullRecall is turned off).

In many Linux distributions there is a tool called 'iconv', example usage if file was encoded in CP1252:
`iconv -f=cp1252 -t=utf-8 elements.xml > elements2.xml; mv elements.xml elements-old.xml; mv elements2.xml elements.xml`)

You can try a dedicated UTF-8 converter.

You can find elements.xml file in directory that is is path visible in top bar in FullRecall; all changes to elements.xml you have to do while FullRecall is off, and please do an extra backup, of the directory, before doing anything on this file.
In versions below 1.2 there was no standard encoding, but generally Windows versions used CP encodings (usually CP1252 in case of English/French), while Linux/FreeBSD versions used ISO encodings (usually ISO8859-1 in case of English/German/French/Spain/Italy/etc).

If you don't understand anything of it and/or can't convert the file, you can send the file to me (david@fullrecall.com), and I'll send you back the file converted to UTF-8.
