Foreign characters in ribbon

[Petr Danes]

I have two Access databases, both with custom ribbons. In both ribbon declaration files, the first line is:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" onLoad="LitrRibbonLoad">

Both ribbon files are full of Czech characters, with diacritical marks over some of the letters. One database display them correctly, one does not. I tried adding this line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>

and

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

neither made any difference.

Is there some setting specific to each database that determines how such ribbon characters are displayed? I haven't found anything, and net searches have likewise turned up nothing.

did you get any errors?
go to Access Optiion->Client Settings->Show add-in user interface errors->tick.
restart your db, if you can receive any errors.

That option is set in both databases, and has been all along. Neither announces an error on load, and all controls in all ribbons work correctly. Only the display of some foreign characters is messed up, and only in one of the databases.

When I substitute things like

& # 352 ; to display Š

the characters display correctly, so I have a workaround available. I'd rather not use it, because it makes the RibbonML file very difficult to read, and there obviously is some way to make it work, since one of the databases displays all such characters correctly.
