I have been using a Visual Basic application to Add Google Calendar events. I am able to add, search and delete those events.

The problem arise when I use international characters (like spanish ñ character UTF-8 code decimal 195.177).

When I try to add an event with title "Mañana" I provide the XML entry with UTF-8 codification for the title, so the string "Mañana" is used. The event is added and I saw "Mañana" as event in Google Calendar instead of "Mañana".

Once the event is added I receive and XML response with the entry just added and the string "Mañana" is received. The same string is recived if I ask for the whole events in my own calendar.

Now I want to search for the event just added, so I use

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/fmartinezbello%40gmail.com/private/full?q=Mañana

Status was 200 and response return 0 search results. The same when I used "Content-Type", "text/html; charset='utf-8'" in the request header. Also the same results when I used

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/fmartinezbello%40gmail.com/private/full?q=Mañana

Any help or idea?

I have already read the thread http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-dataapi/browse_thread/thread/7fedfa2cefe517f/8e319e27763c0a95?lnk=gst&q=search#8e319e27763c0a95

Thanks
