UTF-8 from Ubuntu not supported by OOoBasic on Windows?

Hi *,

This is about text encoding and special characters on Ubuntu and Windows


Take a text file with special characters (e.g. "Extréme")
Saving on Ubuntu in gedit, the default text encoding is UTF-8.

Reading the file in OOo Basic with 'Open sFile for Input' and showing 
the text is OK.
But reading the same file with OOoBasic on Windows, does not show the 
special character properly.
If I save as ISO-8859-15 in gedit, it does show fine on Windows.
But of course (?) not on Ubuntu.

Is this a general OS problem with the text-encoding? Does OOoBasic do 
something wrong?

Thanks,
Cor
