If so there's something we did for text nodes that convert UTF8 to 32 bit chars -Component_Text.c L.721- so it might need a function to convert back from 32 bit to UTF8 2byte sequence?

Paulo,
thanks. 
I haven't got the .rgb file naming worked out yet - I did it wrong in win32, and I want to get them harmonized.
Using the ALT,CTRL,SHIFT and other keys I was able to get some funny chars^.
So as you say, options:
a) convert back&forth to/from UTF8 for recording to the file OR
b) just leave them as funny chars if they playback OK

^It might be nice to go from the int*4 to UTF8 - and we have functions already to go UTF8 to int32, if not too much trouble, and in such a way it works for all OS.
Using CTRL, ALT and SHIFT with some other chars I get (in the /recording/1_wrl.fwplay)
