[jdev] jabber and unicode

[JohnM]

Im working with jabberoo. I have just been using ascii strings for now but I need to add unicode support. It looks like jabberoo is using Expat in UTF-8 mode, and jabberd server supports UTF-8...

So all I need to do is encode and decode from UTF-8 what I pass to jabberoo?
Does this apply to everything, like jid strings?
Will this work with any compliant jabber server?

-thanks
