Strings never just "are", but anyway I can have a look into this.

If your Firebird connection character set (encoding) differs from
the system character set (encoding), sure there are conversions
to do in the driver.

If every character set matches in your system setup
(charset of the database table, connection charset,
system charset, and the charset the user expects),
no problems will occur.

This is the (legitimate) reason why charset issues
are usually postponed until someone has the
requirements to handle different charsets.

That would be fine.
