Description danielking 2008-05-18 20:02:52 UTC 
utf8 strings are displayed as a ansi string. "\\\\xxx"s are displayed if a string contains non-ansi characters.
displaying wchar strings has the same problem.

I think something like this is nice:
if the string is a char string -> find whether there are chars >= 128 in it -> display utf8 or not -> and programmer can
choose charset/codepage to display it
if the string is wchar string -> display the correct stirng instead of numbers.

same for tooltips, I believe we could just convert it to the Charset of the project
