Thanks for those links. Problem is, that I don't undestand mechanism
characters are coded.
An example:
I have letter "ř" . In ISO8859-2 is number is 248. In gnucash file it is
coded as  &#248; - simple.
The same letter has UTF8 number 0159  (LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH CARON)
and in gnucash file it is coded as &#197;&#153; - I'm lost.

Could somebody tell me, how the UTF8 is coded?

 Thanks for any idea.

Josef
