No, I don't think so. UTF-8 is the default for vCard 3.0 and iCalendar 2.0, regardless of what the encapsulating XML says. Can you reduce it to a simpler combination of syncs, say, add special character in FB, send to server, then to phone? Check at each step that the data was transfered okay. The data stored by the file backend uses UTF-8. Regarding the duplicates, does that occur during a normal two-way sync? If in doubt, identify one sync which shouldn't create duplicates but does and post the server-side sync log, either publicly or to me directly. > 2.

Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done about this. Picking the subset of the data which is supported by all devices typically works best. > 3.
