The string to encode is "½" (1/2 as single character). This is used as housenumber in Wuerzburg: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.801248&lon=9.927579&zoom=18
To solve this I increased the byte buffer provided in encodeText by 1. But I'm not sure if this is the right solution.
The maximum size possible is I suppose a lot larger than that (say if a name contained several 1/2 symbols). So we should just pick a number that is big enough in practice. ..Steve
