Bad utf-8 data when restoring photo to Digikam

Dotan Cohen
All my Digikam tags are in Hebrew, as utf-8. I am certain that they
are utf-8 as I had to manually edit the digikam.db database to
transfer my hundreds of tags from f-spot. Also, my locale in utf-8.

I accidentally deleted a photo from digikam, so I simply went to the
KDE trash bin and restored it. However, it's tag came back corrupted.
You can see it here:

From the page of decipering wrong Hebrew encodings it is easy to see
that Digikam trying to display the tag as ISO-8859-1:
