            Bug ID: 304187
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: XMP sidecar files do not write Unicode characters in
                    the Dublin Core section
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: james at lab6.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

The string "UnicoƉe" is written as "Unico?e" in the Dublin Core section of XMP
sidecar files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set digikam to write metadata to XMP sidecar files.
2. Edit photo metadata to add a caption "UnicoƉe"
3. Click apply to write XMP sidecar file.

Actual Results:  
TIFF and EXIF sections correctly record the description as "UnicoƉe" but the DC
section records "Unico?e".

Expected Results:  
All instances of the caption string are recorded as per the original data
entry.

This may be by design for some reason that I do not know.
