Playlist export character issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add files to a playlist whose filenames contain international characters
2. Export
3. open in a txt file and you get inverted question marks in the filenames. 
This in turn makes it impossible to import them back to itunes or other 
programs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

"Miguel Caló" . gets exported as "Miguel Cal<inverted question mark>" when I 
open in textwrangler

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest.

Please provide any additional information below.

That does seem to work when I look at the text file but iTunes does not import 
it correctly. It does not even create a play list with it.

So I've figured out this also may be an iTunes bug of sorts. If I export a 
playlist in iTunes into m3u or m3u8 it does not re-build the correct playlist 
on re-import. 

It does with the XML format. So I guess it comes down to how hard it is to 
implement the XML export. This seems to be the only safe way to get stuff out 
that everyone can import(!). 

cheers
