cannot transliterate between character sets

[sancho1980]

Hello, I'm trying to convert a paradox table into an interbase table where my char fields in the interbase table have the unicode_fss charset and now every time i read a field in the paradox table with special characters (like the german ö) and then try to store it in my ibdataset (under delphi) I get an exception saying something like 'cannot transliterate between character sets'...unicode should actually support *all* characters, shouldn't it? What can I do, does any of you know??
Thanx a lot,
Martin

I'm no Delphi expert but have you defined the IB database's default charset as unicode and also set the character set for the TIBDatabase to 'UNICODE_FSS' ?
