"é" on Mac becomes "Ž" on Windows

Bonjour,

In an app, I just finish to build on Mac (at least I was hoping so!) I have fields (lockText false) where special characters (in fact #) have an imageSource.
(a small image showing the 3 letters "Doc" 

The images used to set the imageSource of # are invisible. Each one has a custom property (the "docName") which contains the name of a specific document. 

When double clicking on such a character (on selectionChanged) the filename of this document is built and the document is launched.

On Mac that's working very well.
But I have also to build a standalone for Windows.

On Windows, the documents are not launched.
I just discovered that, if there is an accented character in the contents of the custom property it is replaced with another bizarre one ;-(( 
for example instead of "é" I find "Ž" 
so that, of course, the document can't be found and launched!

Any idea how I could get rid of this?

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice and help

Best regards
André
