Digikam saves erroneously some characters in JPEG comments.

----------------------------------------------------------
Examples:

Comments inserted with digikam:
-Digikam comments: "Questa è una prova di commento"
-Exiv comments: "Questa Ú una prova di commento"
Character "è" will be saved as "Ú".

Comments inserted exiv2 (exiv2 -c "my comments" myfile.jpg)
-Exiv comments: "Prova é à ù è ì @ ò"
-Digikam comments: ""
-----------------------------------------------------------

Other problem: comments inserted by exiv2 (or another image manager) will not be shown in digikam.(should I submit a new bug?)
