solr utf8 for words like compagnieën?

[RT]

Hi,

I am having a bit of trouble getting words with characters such as:
ë, á, ø etc into SOLR.

Programming in C++ (Using Qt's QString) I am wondering what conversion to 
apply before compiling words with such letters into the solrquery.

Is UTF8 the correct encoding?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Roland.
