Hi, Firstly, ISO8859-1 (or "Latin-1") has rather limited character set[1] and you should consider sticking with Unicode (in your case UTF-8)
> Can someone give a GOOD explenantion about character encoding. The eminent Joel Spolsky gives an excellent guide[1] to character encodings from the programmers point of view. Everyone reading this post should read this. With regard to your problem the W3[2] say: It is very important that the character encoding of any XML or (X)HTML document is clearly labeled, so that clients can easily map these encodings to Unicode. (Source: [2]) So, can you first check whether your view that houses the <input> element which will be autocompleted contains the magic: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> in the <head> section?
