Did you try Pharo? They have done a lot of work with encoding and UTF-8. You
could at least give it a try.

Ok. This is true. Sqlite have binaries for those OS. It is also true that
Squeak support FFI in those platforms. But.....who invokes the C functions
of the Sqlite driver? You do it manually ? Are you using a Squeak driver ?
This is what I don't understand. How are now talking to Sqlite in those OS

Yes. Actually they are. They have not been done by us but by someone else.
They are here: http://reauktion.de/flugphase/en/2009/03/19/

No, It wouldn't be a big problem. Norbert (openDBX author) also made it
work. I asked him the tips to do it and also the dll. I will let you know
the responses if you are interested in.
