Please describe the problem:
In a German HTMLHelp file, the "Related Information" entry is "Zusätzliche Informationen". It appears correct in the text but in the contents tree view, the special German character is represented as a two-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a doxygen project with a standalone \page so that a "Related information" section appears
2. Set the output language to German
3. Compile to chm

Actual results:
Related information is correctly translated, displayed correctly in the HTML text, but with a wrong character in the tree view.

Expected results:
To have it appear with the correct character in the tree view.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
It appears that hhc.exe supports UTF-8 in the html topic files but not in the hhc file. I could not fix it by editing the hhc file to have UTF-8 encoding. However, using the ä character entity in the hhc file fixed it without any other changes to the HTMLHelp project. So I guess that translating special characters, if possible, to HTML character entities in the hhc file should fix it.

Can you check if this already has been fixed in the latest subversion update?
I corrected the character encoding for the various index file.
A binary for windows can be downloaded here: http://doxygen.sourceforge.net/dl/doxygen-1.5-cvs/

As far as I can see, it is not fixed. I can supply a project file and some source files to demonstrate the problem.

I found a small problem with encoding while generating HtmlHelp index file.
doxygen 1.7.1
Group name had written in UTF-8 though chm_index_encoding and input_encoding was setted as windows-1251
When i disable input_encoding hhk file generates normally, but contents of group stay unreadable (utf-8 default)

Now i use doxygen 1.5.6 where group description doesn't include in hhk file.
As hhc doesn't support utf-8 guess hhk values shouldn't be encoded.
