Hi guys, I was searching to find a way to add UNICODE support to my osquery extension. I know that osquery supports Unicode from (v4.5.0) but does it support Unicode for extensions too? if yes, then how can I configure it to support Unicode?

Did you try it? How does it not work?

No, I mean my current extension is working with ASCII and it's fine. However, I don't know what extra thing I need to do, so my extension supports Unicode as well.

I would expect it to just work.

osquery handles unicode? This is news to me, I thought that was a longstanding todo

IIRC -- sorta. Osquery handles it. But in some cases some of the bytes gets munched. It's recoverable, but kinda gross. But whether Sinaei encounters that or not 🤷

Thanks for the answer. But I didn't get it. I mean what do you mean by "I would expect it to just work.". Everything is defined as std::string in extensions. What should I change in my OSQuery extension?
