[gdal-dev] UTF-8 String Support in GDALOpen() and OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open()

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Louis,

GDAL/OGR usually supports utf-8 encoding. I just don't know where it doesn't
support.
Can you provide the details of the OS you are working on? Also, some sample
file names that caused you problems will come handy.
I presume you are working in C/C++.
