I just found out that when the input content is already GB2312, “wine” automatically mistakes it for unicode

[hawaii.wine wong]

*Hi there,

I am a Chinese programmer. I have a problem here with "wine"
As we know "wine" is able to convert unicode to GB2312-- but weirdly, I just
found out that when the input content is already GB2312, "wine"
automatically mistakes it for unicode and therefore attempts to convert it
again—and of course it gets a wrong output.

**I thought "wine" could recognize GB2312 input and knows this input needs
no conversion.

Thanks in advance!!*

"wine" is a bit too vague to make any sense to anyone, so could you
answer a few questions:
Where is the data being input - a builtin app like notepad, or a 3rd party app?
How is the data being input - keyboard, clipboard, file or network and
if not a builtin app, which APIs are being used?
What OS are you running?
What does the typing "locale" in a terminal output?

I am using some third party apps developed in Chinese GB2312 by some
Chinese companies(in china, usually the companies use GB 2312)
OS info:
Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic (buildd@terranova)
 (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7))
#1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008

wine-1.1.4( install from source )

locale'soutput follows :
~$ locale -a
C
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8

In simple words, i use a app that's text written in gb2312, wine can
not show that correctly.
i use ubuntu and it has support for gb2312 , because i can use gedit
to read text encoding in  gb2312 .

show up correctly, right?
