Enhancement Request- Support for Unicode labels about labelimg HOT 10 CLOSED

@mineshmathew try the latest version

from labelimg.

Hello, @rflynn, @mineshmathew forwarded this to me. I took a look at your branch corresponding to this issue. The last bit was failing, due to python2 open's ascii codec issues. Since this is python2, I've worked up a solution using codecs, where it was failing.

@rflynn sorry to tag you again. The issue with unicode is still there.
LIke I pointed out in the first post, though the label is rendered correctly in the tool, the xml saves shows the label as a string of unicode points.

For example, for the Chinese word 中华人民共和国,
what I see in xml is this
<name>&#20013;&#21326;&#20154;&#27665;&#20849;&#21644;&#22269;</name>

@mineshmathew ,
Can you share us with the filename and the file? We can put the file to https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg/tree/master/tests, we can test it whenever there are new changes.

I am attaching the xml generated upon assigning the label 中华人民共和国 to some bounding box I drew

@tzutalin: My patch alone wouldn't be enough, I'm guessing. I believe the changes @rflynn was trying to implement are also necessary. My patch is on top of @rflynn's branch corresponding to the repo.
