I'm using Windows version Mozilla Calendar 2005011112-cal for Thunderbird.
New a task, set the title to "论文"(It's in Chinese), Then exit Calendar and
Thunderbird. Rerun Thunderbird and Calendar, the task title becomes "?????"(five
?-s)
In the file CalendarDataFile.ics under Thunderbird profile dir, The "SUMMARY"
section of that task is not the correct utf-8 of the title "论文".
This also happens in Events.

Reproducible: Always

Update: the CalendarDataFile.ics file is correct, but Calendar can't read it
correctly, and show the title as "?????"

Yuxuan,
   Thanks for the bug report.  I think this is the same issue described in bug
199138.  Can you please take a look at that bug and see if you agree?  If you do
feel this is a duplicate of bug 199138, please resolve it as such.

Giorgos Vasiliou's problem is the same with me, I think, not bug 199137 itself.

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051214 Mozilla Sunbird/0.3a1+. Also tested in recent version of Thunderbird + Lightning.

Reporter: 
If you still experience this error in a _recent_ build please reopen the bug.
