IPTC/XMP caption encoding on Windows and Linux

I found that all IPTC/XMP captions in Chinese I wrote on Linux version of XnViewMP turn into unrecognizable characters on Windows version, while Chinese captions wrote on Windows version is not readable on Linux version either.
Seem to be an encoding issue.

OK, now solved.
I think it's better to set "use utf-8 to write iptc fields" as default.

It's moved:
Tools > Metadata > Edit IPTC/XMP...
Note: I don't use the browser, I just like a challenge...

In v0.84 (and probably earlier), "Use utf-8 to write iptc fields" is on by default.
