[vorbis-dev] UTF-8 & Hebrew

Sorry if this is offtopic.

My Win32 comment editor uses a routine of my own to read comments
directly from OGG files but uses vorbiscomment.exe to write comments.
I've implemented a UTF-8 function which I found on the internet to
decode UTF-8.  It appears to be working fine for most European
characters, however, I have a Russian user using WinXP who is entering
Hebrew characters such as "???? ??????".  He can enter these OK but
they
are either not encoding properly in vorbiscomment or my UTF-8 function
is not decoding properly.  All he sees with my program and the Winamp
plugin is "????????".

I don't know much about unicode.  Can anyone shed any light?
