Exiv2

A character set conversion / print function seems to be required.

Ok, exiftool converts the data from 16 bit unicode to 8 bit UTF-8 if I
understand this correctly. Since it is written in Perl, it can use some Perl
magic to do that. I'll have to figure out how this could be done in C++. So
far exiv2 is completely ignorant of character sets.

0x9c9b XPTitle undef IFD0 (tags 0x9c9b-0x9c9f are used by Windows
Explorer; special characters in these values are converted to UTF-8 by
default, or Windows Latin1 with the -L option. XPTitle is ignored by
Windows Explorer if ImageDescription exists)
0x9c9c XPComment undef IFD0
0x9c9d XPAuthor undef IFD0 (ignored by Windows Explorer if Artist

0x9c9e XPKeywords undef IFD0

Not sure how it is encoded.

Okay, I managed to add those tags and they seem to be Exif tags and Exiv2
finds them as I expected. This is what I get, next question is how to
decode them:
