Depending on what you do with the string returned from your function, in Windows you may or may not get nice results. Also, to check, we do have multiple locales for German. The de-utf8 locale is preferred if SWORD is compiled with a StringMgr which understands Unicode. How are you compiling SWORD on Windows? With ICU?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On October 3, 2020 10:55:32 AM GMT+02:00, Tobias Klein <contact@tklein.info> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
