Bad encoding in XML export

[selurvedu]

Expected Behavior

KeePassXC CLI outputs the contents of a database in XML format with correct encoding.

Current Behavior

KeePassXC CLI outputs the contents of a database in XML format with non-Latin symbols being encoded incorrectly.

Possible Solution

Fix it.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an empty database: /tmp/Passwords.kdbx.
2. Insert an entry with any non-Latin text in any field (title / username / password / notes), e. g. Ελληνική λέξη.
3. Save and close the database.
4. Execute keepassxc-cli export -f xml /tmp/Passwords.kdbx > /tmp/Passwords.xml.
5. Enter the password into an empty prompt and press Enter.
6. Open the resulting file and see the field contents in incorrect encoding.

Additionally, try to import the database back:

1. Open the XML file with a text editor and remove the first line saying Enter password to unlock /tmp/Passwords.kdbx: .
2. Execute keepassxc-cli import /tmp/Passwords.xml /tmp/Passwords-imported.kdbx
3. Enter a new password and press Enter.
4. See the following messages:

Stripping invalid XML 1.0 codepoint 95
Stripping invalid XML 1.0 codepoint 95
Stripping invalid XML 1.0 codepoint 95
Successfully imported database.

Currently I'm using the following workaround:

keepassxc-cli export -f xml /tmp/Passwords.kdbx | iconv -f utf8 -t iso-8859-1

Both import and export work this way.

@selurvedu is your locale set to UTF-8?

Of course. It is set to en_US.UTF-8.
