...

Does PackageMaker pass the string as escaped text or does it pass it as Unicode?

The installation framework being a Cocoa thing, it's quite probable C

strings passed to scripts as arguments or env vars are built using UTF8String or fileSystemRepresentation. Both are usually the same, but apparently sometimes there can be a difference.

I see. Odd that using decode_utf8() doesn't seem to return the characters correctly. Thanks for the info.
