Yes, I think so.
At present, I am using the -UTF8String method, but I also tried the - cStringUsingEncoding: to no avail.


Here is the line that binds the string to the prepared statement:
sqlite3_bind_text(sentence_insert_statement, 1, [string UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
and I translate it back into NSString by [string stringWithUTF8String], although I also tried the -stringWithCString: encoding: method. The characters _are_ mangled.
And the funny thing is that i am able to add non-latin strings to it by reading sql files from SQLite in Terminal...


Best regards, Timofey.

When I insert non-latin strings into my SQLite3 database, they turn into some weird sets of characters (as I select those strings later in Terminal), and the fields, which contain those strings, become unusable by my application.

I googled for it for quite a bit, but everywhere it says that SQLite 3 supports utf8, so there is no advice on what should be done in such situations.

What can I do about it?

Are you properly encoding your C strings with - cStringUsingEncoding:? If so, when you query the column (and properly translate the C string to NSString using - stringWithCString:encoding:), are the characters still mangled?
