<p>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This is your regular remainder that nobody in the core GDAL maintainer team is a CSharp
<span lang="FR">aficionado (we don't have a personal grief against it, just that we are blatantly ignorant, at least speaking for myself !), so related tickets about it will definitely result in no action.

<p><span lang="FR">The current trend is that people seem to be annoyed by UTF-8 related issues. The issue is likely that our methods that accept or take a const char* in the SWIG bindings should use a specific typemap to map to CSharp Unicode strings instead
of the "C" one or whatever those concepts are called in CSharp. There is an existing "utf8_path" typemap that is used in method that accept filenames, that should probably be renamed to utf8_string and be used more extensively. And probably with a version
of the methods to also return a raw C string / bytearray in the cases where drivers don't know the encoding and might return "random" stuff. Cf pull request #10652 where I did something for Java that suffered from that later issue.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
