[sldev] International characters in prim names

[Shack Dougall]

Sorry, if this is inappropriate for this list.

I'm trying to understand how international characters are handled in the 
SL viewer.  I am debugging a problem that a Spanish user is having with 
my prim exporter.  They are naming a prim something like "Escalón" and 
the accented o is causing a problem somewhere in my exporter.

I am trying to reproduce the problem.  I set up the US-international 
keyboard and I am able to type things like ó and á in Second Life chat.  
But when I try to type these characters in the Name field of a prim then 
nothing happens.  This seems to suggest that international characters 
are not allowed in Prim Names.   But if this is true, then how did the 
user create a prim with the name "Escalón"?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!  --Shack
