Description

Reported by Matthieu, original bugreport is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486884

Exif.Photo.UserComment unicode are stored a utf-16 (big or little
endianaccording to the exif endianness).

But exiv2 don't do any processing and output utf-16 on terminal [1].

Worse when setting UserComment with unicode charset, it write invalid
tag with the charset of your terminal.

PS : the perl exiftool does the encoding/decoding correctly.
