[digiKam-users] DigiKam and multiple computers -- best practices

[Simon Cropper]

Windows uses Code Page 1252 (i.e. CP-1252 or Windows-1252) not UTF-8.

Problems will only occur if any unique CP-1252 characters are used in 
any text strings... UTF-8 gets confused otherwise no error occurs.

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252
