Hello, please maybe someone can help me : - I have a DB2 database which is in codeset UTF-8 and codepage 1208 - I have a field "lastname" which has some names which contain east european special character (š and á // s with caron or a with acute) - my environment on the shell is LANG=de_DE.utf8 - I read the DB field with DBI module into Perl and want to convert the name to latex format for printing, but it doesn't work for the "s with caron" á (a with a acute) (Unicode-Nummer: U+00E1 HTML-Code: á) ---->wanted goal: Latex format \'{a} š (s with caron) (Unicode-Nummer: U+0161 HTML-Code: š) ---->wanted goal: Latex format \v{s} I don't manage to convert the "s" character: $tmp has ' áš' I try a print TeX::Encode::encode('latex',$tmp); It gives : \'a? \'a is correct "?" for the "š" is not When I directly save the field to a file and look with a hexeditor on it it says: "e1 1a" e1 is correct "1a" isn't (according to latin-2 it should be "b9") Hmmm... Can someone please help me to manage to bring these east european names from a utf8 db to a universal latex format for printing ? Many Many Thanks !!!!!! Tina
