SUMMARY
***
IPTC Encoding differs when using exiftool as backend
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using two files on a "test" directory, first ensure that writting using exiftool in the backend is disabled (Settings -> Configure Digikam -> Metadata, clear "Delegate to exiftool backend writting of all metadata operations" checkbox
2. Add Captions containing accented characters: Example "José", and write metadata to file.
3. Enable option to use exiftool backend to write metadata to file.
4. Repeat step 2 on second test file.
5. On Windows command line type:  exiftool *.jpg -iptc:all to display iptc values.
OBSERVED RESULT
- On Windows, the file which was modified using the exiftool backend displays the text differently.  Example: José
- Refer to attached files.

EXPECTED RESULT
- Same as with the exiftool option disabled. Example: José
