The second argument to append is in bytes, no glyphes.

Use this instead:
        int32                           CountChars() const;
                                                /* returns number of UTF8 
characters in string */

Like thus

string1.Append( string2, string1.CountChars() );
And it should be ok.

There might be a newsletter article on the matter IIRC.

HTH,
cd.
