I had problems with international characters early on, but that was an issue of encoding the text for sending it to facebook via http post. So a few questions for you:
  • [1]When you type these characters into the app, do you see them onscreen properly as you type them?
    [2]When you use these characters directly in Facebook, do they work properly?
    [3]Does a status entered on Facebook that shows up properly on facebook show up properly in the current statuses list of the N900 app?
    [4]Can you identify the specific unicode values of these characters? Look at this page to help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

The last is the most important...if you can give me the character values that work and don't work I can do some testing directly.

There are lots of possibilities for where this encoding is going wrong, so if I can isolate the layer where this is happening (in QML, QML to C++ transfer, QT C++ code, encoding for HTTP transport, HTTP Transport, in Facebook, when viewed in facebook, when rendered in the upper box in QML, etc.) I can better figure out how to resolve it.
Heh, kudos to Orloj I guess :-) .

[1] No.
[2] No if you mean the statuses submitted via Effing. It of course works from about any PC browser.
[3] Yes. (i.e. I entered "ů" through a PC browser and it shows correctly in effing)
[4] As far as Czech is concerned, only U+016F (ů) does not work. Strangely enough, its capital version U+016E (Ů) works.
