Hi,

The difficult part of supporting more than the standard charset, is 
propably the OSD display.
Part of the char handling in VDR is done inside the libvdr library, only 
a part is done in
VDR itself.
The charsets are described in the DVB standard (etsi en and some number 
i forgot right now)
The use of  characters to "attribute" the following character(s) is 
described there (so it probably
is not unicode).
So you have to decide, which characters to use in your OSD to display 
special chars, and
where to convert the strings (directly after getting them from the epg, 
or directly before
displaying them).

Gruss Robert
