Yes, It seems you are right there is a bug, haven't tried myself, but
should do the trick:

diff --git a/tdeabc/vcardparser/vcardparser.cpp
b/tdeabc/vcardparser/vcardparser.cpp
index 7ac07ce..db33263 100644
--- a/tdeabc/vcardparser/vcardparser.cpp

         } else {
-          output = TQCString(value.latin1());
+          output = TQCString(value.utf8());
         }

         if ( params.findIndex( "charset" ) != -1 ) { // have to
convert the data

Note that VCardParser::parseVCards() is generally encoding-unsafe...


PS, some notes about your code:
> std::string data_str(data.utf8(),data.utf8().length());
>        SE_LOG_DEBUG(getDisplayName(), "TDE addressbook ENTRY AFTER
>\n%s\n",data_str.c_str() );
Note that there is no need here to create here an intermediate
std::string, next code should work by itself:

std::string data_str(data.utf8(),data.utf8().length());
SE_LOG_DEBUG(getDisplayName(), "TDE addressbook ENTRY
AFTER\n%s\n",data.utf8() );

if not, just cast it to (const char *).

>TDEABC::Addressee addressee = converter.parseVCard(item.c_str());
This is an equivalent to fromLatin1(), so it will work only for your locale...

Next tim if you encounter such issues, try to provide a minimal
compiliable test example. That will significantly ease the testing and
understanding what's wrong...
