Scenario:
1. Using IBExpert, create a table with a single column, Varchar (10), Charset
UTF-8, Collate UTF-8.

2. At the IBExpert, Open that Table. At the data tab, try input some UTF-8
Chinese characters based on the character script download from
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf

3. To input the UTF-8 Chinese characters, e.g. Type 4E00 Alt-X, you should see
this character 一 (Type 4E00, follow by ALT X)

4. Typing the UTF-8 Chinese characters is not a problem, but when
saving into the database, most of the characters produced the following Error
Message:

Invalid token. Malformed String.

5. The example list of characters not able to save:
4E01 : 丁
4E02: 丂
4E03: 七 etc.

I can't key in the UTF-8 charaters using ISQL, FlameRobin, Upscene Database Workbench. So the
best tool to simulate is IBExpert operating in Windows XP. In Vista, the Chinese
characters do not show at all in all tools, including IBExpert.

Thanks.
