Joliet uses unicode, while RockRidge/BeOS uses UTF-8 encoding.
From the upcoming locale kit (for use with OpenTracker first):

void
BUnicodeChar::ToUTF8(uint32 c, char **out)
{
        char *s =3D *out;

        if (c < 0x80)
                *(s++) =3D c;
        else if (c < 0x800) {
                *(s++) =3D 0xc0 | (c >> 6);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | (c & 0x3f);
        } else if (c < 0x10000) {
                *(s++) =3D 0xe0 | (c >> 12);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | ((c >> 6) & 0x3f);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | (c & 0x3f);
        } else if (c <=3D 0x10ffff) {
                *(s++) =3D 0xf0 | (c >> 18);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | ((c >> 12) & 0x3f);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | ((c >> 6) & 0x3f);
                *(s++) =3D 0x80 | (c & 0x3f);
        }
        *out =3D s;
}

This will do the trick; if you'd find the time, it would be a very nice 
advantage over the original DS-Add-on. But of course, I could also do 
it, if you don't want to :-)

Adios...
