   Yes, GTK uses utf8, all strings must be in utf8 before displaying on 
the screen.
   If strings in our application are in utf8 already, we don't use 
hwg_setAppLocale().
If not, we set our codepage with hwg_setAppLocale() - so all strings are 
converted to utf8 before using in GTK functions. If strings in dbf files 
  uses other codepage, we need to convert them to the codepage, which we 
use in the application. For doing this automatically, we set separately 
application codepage with hb_cdpSelect() and database codepage - using 
the CODEPAGE clause of USE command ( in dbview.prg it is done, using the 
setDataCP() ).
   Have in mind that the name of a codepage in hwg_setAppLocale() is a 
name, defined in GTK or somewhere else and it is deffir from the 
Harbour's codepage name, which is used in hb_cdpSelect() or in USE ... 
CODEPAGE ... command.
