Yes, digikam writes Latin 1 or maybe Latin 9 (ISO 8859-1 or -15) and tags the
comment as "ASCII".

AFAIK Latin-charsets are not supported for this EXIF header field. This causes
problems with other applications which process the comment. As far as I
understand, the solution would be to encode the comment in UTF-8 if it contains
non-ASCII characters (ie. code > 127) and tag the comment field appropriately.

However, maybe I'm wrong and UserComment field do support Latin charsets,
somehow?
