Stefan,

There are (or were) two problems:
- whether Celeste properly converts characters between different encodings
- whether StringMorph correctly displays strings like the one described

I think ">>This does the trick -" refers to the second problem and the fact that it was recently fixed in 2.8a as you pointed out. Daniel must have been using a slightly older squeak where only the 'G' was showing. That still leaves the first problem, but one out of two isn't bad. ;-)

Cheers,
Bob
