Hallo everyone,

i've transfered the ID3-Tag my mp3 files already to UTF8.  Many titles can  
not be rightly showed.   For example,    i have a file, which has the title  
"黃鶴樓" , if i write the whole string into the title,  amarok will reply  
a string like "???" -- three question mark.

I tried some combination of the String:
*   If i put only any part, without the head character "黃" , for example,  
the string : "鶴樓" , amarok can recognize correctly;
*   If the string has only a character -- "黃",  it will also be good  
recognised;
*   The combination of "黃鶴" at the head of a title can NOT be showed  
rightly (output unfortunately "??"),  with any letter / number ahead still  
NOT  work;
*   But if i repeat the "黃" character at the head of the String -- that  
means the string "黃黃鶴樓"  -- it can be right showed again.
*   Putting some letter between "黃" and "鶴", e.g. "黃a鶴" , it outputs  
correctly.

Some other Players(banshee, rhythmbox) have no problem to show this kind of  
utf8 titles.
This problem by amarok exist in many linux-distributions,  i use right now  
amarok version 2.2.0 with locale:

$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf8
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.utf8
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

(i tried under  LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8,   and LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8, both has this  
problem )

hopping this Problem will be fast solved
and please forgive my poor english....
