Hi,
this is also how I understand the ascii(), but do you have explanation how I
then see the ��� (utf?). The above was just an experiment.
For the code I wrote I solved the problem by passing the c_str() to
parseVCard. This passes char array and does not care about the content that
much (my understanding)
