Gilles,

Probably yes. Assuming libkexiv2 has an interface like

void setUserComment(const std::string& comment);

to set an Exif user-comment, then the comment passed in should always be UTF-8
encoded now. The function can then simply set an Exif UNICODE user-comment, or,
as suggested above somewhere, analyse the comment and use an Exif ASCII
user-comment if the text is (7-Bit) ASCII only and an UNICODE user-comment if
not.

Andreas
