[Tutor] rss feed reader, but having trouble with unicode

[Tom]

Finally got it working. I used your suggestion Rui, but I also had to
change the charset encoding that my database was using. Changed from
Latin-1 to UCS2.

I read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html too.
Essential reading.

Thanks.
