That's the correct place to look. I don't usually put all the
parameters in for each application, but the sample app config file is
indeed the definitive list. Here's what's in it that should be a
solution I think:

<!-- xAP message encoding format. Normally ASCII encoding is specified
to allow for low-end display devices, but an
alternative encoding format may be required to allow for accented
characters and the like in strings. Choose
between any of the following; Default, ASCII, Unicode, UTF7, UTF8 -->
<add key="xAPCharacterEncoding" value="UTF8" />

Add that and set it to UTF8 as shown. That was a fix that came from
somebody else having a similar problem with MP3 tags IIRC. As I recall
they fixed it in the code themselves (sorry, I forget who it was
without hunting back in time!!) so I added this as an option. This was
fixed back in April 2005, so the xAPMessage.DLL and xAPTransport.DLL
files should be dated 21st April or later to incorporate this fix.

HTH!

PS - the link is fixed now. Thanks for the spot.
