[Freeswitch-users] unicode in CDR

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Ah, yeah dealing with unicode can be troublesome in many languages.

>From my understanding - if FreeSWITCH has done something a certain way,
then it will stay like that for the sake of backwards compatibility,
despite whether it was the right/wrong way of doing something (unless it's
an outright bug). You could push to have new variables defined with
deprecation on the old, but these sorts of tickets are extremely low
priority. Either way, this means that you probably won't see this being
changed in the code (at least not for quite a long time). Generally
speaking, the FreeSWITCH channel variables are not what a typical developer
would consider 'sane'... i.e. you might need to clean/convert/verify etc.

As Steven said, you can file a JIRA report, but unless the resulting data
is absolutely wrong, then the chances of it being changed are slim.

(If anyone thinks this is incorrect, please reply)
