Hey, am I correct in assuming that Quelea doesn't import Chinese characters from Zionworx correctly?

Zionworx 2.6 database Garbled characters when importing Chinese lyrics

I've had a look at this, but unfortunately the tool that we're using to extract the data from the TurboDB database doesn't seem to support UTF-8 characters properly. This isn't a Java library, it's a proprietary windows program and, AFAIK, there's no open source implementation available that we can use instead.

As such it's a dependency bug where there's nothing much we can do about it I'm afraid. I'll leave it open in case the situation changes, but unfortunately this almost certainly won't be resolved any time soon.
