Unicode

[Pimpya]

I try to compare 2 Chinese phrases and the function always returns false. I am confused.

[Skizmo]

O man, it sucks when that happens... I know how you feel.

The first article in my signature will definitely help you with this.

[Zaccheus]

If you are comparing two phrases, isn't false always the correct result?

[Lindley]

Make sure the phrases really are identical, I suppose.

And you may need to do normalization (eg, make sure you aren't using a variant of the same character with a different unicode value). ICU contains a method to do this.
