Nothing to do with OpenSync... Does anyone know if Android has a facility to 
export vCard/vCalendar files?  And, if so, whether those are in UTF-16 as well?

If so, I would like to make sure they can be imported into GPE (this is direct 
import of the file, not using OpenSync).  There is an analogous problem as the 
RFC's do not specify charsets (requiring that the containing transport 
specifies the charset) -- but when passing text files around, there is no way to 
specify the charset.  So GPE applies a heuristic to guess!

If anyone could send me a vCard and/or vCalendar file exported by Android (and 
containing non-ASCII characters, for example in names or addresses) it would 
be appreciated.
