MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004vCard - unicode
I have a vCard-file contain unicode, if I view the file in notepad, I see the right char. But if I import it in Outlook (test with 2000 and 2002), then I see the unicode (2 char). Any idea ?? Here is the vCard.... -- BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Name;My;;; FN:My Name ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;unicode begin æ ø Ã¥ unicode end;;;; END:VCARD -- ...hope it's still unicode after this post ;) It seems to work OK in Outlook 2003, which is the first version to have full Unicode support.

I tried to install a 2003 as standard, and can't see it works here either. I don't belief I'm the first person in this world, with this problem. Know any other group with better luck to ask this ?? Thx. Can you attach a small vCard that illustrates the issue?

Do you have a reference for the "unicode begin ... unicode end" syntax in your sample? I couldn't find anything in the RFCs on that. Outlook 2003, in fact, doesn't encode the characters when it saves them a contact as a vCard, e.g.: ADR;WORK:;;;?, ? [let's see if those actually come through or if they're escaped into two characters as your post came through here] SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > > Can you attach a small vCard that illustrates the issue? > > Here u go... the content is also in my first post. > Do you have a reference for the "unicode begin ... unicode end" syntax in > your sample? I have used this reference: http://www.imc.org/pdi/pdiproddev.html The "unicode begin ... unicode end" is not an syntax, just some text to tell me that here comes unicode-chars. But this syntax should tell it's unicode (UTF-8) ADR;CHARSET=UTF-8: ...but as you know, it not seam to work that well ;) > ADR;WORK:;;;æ, ø > [let's see if those actually come through or if they're escaped into two > characters as your post came through here] In this post, I see the correct chars.... but you know, if I view the vcf-file in notepad, I also see the correct chars. Of course if I manual save the "correct" chars it would work for me here, but the data behind comes from a database, with the type of unicode. And the writer-object writes it as unicode. begin 644 test.vcf M0D5'24XZ5D-!4D0-"E9%4E-)3TXZ,BXQ#0I..DYA;64[37D[.SL-"D9..DUY M($YA;64-"D%$4CM#2$%24T54/5541BTX.CL[=6YI8V]D92!B96=I;B##IB## AN"##I2!U;FEC;V1E(&5N9#L[.SL-"D5.1#I60T%21`T* ` end > Can you attach a small vCard that illustrates the issue? Did you get anything out of it ?? Definitely looks broken in ANSI .pst files, but I need to test further in Unicode .pst files and Exchange mailboxes.
