Hi there, If the database is postgresql, then the below link will help in characterset support at Database level
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/multibyte.html As the form encoding is UTF-8 (presentation layer), the data storage in the DB should also be UTF-8 encoded. I didn't try this in Dspace but in one of my previous project we had similar situation of supporting Japanese language where we made the DB encoding as UTF-8 and also specified the page encoding as UTF-8 (in jsp) which resolved the issue. This might be of help as scenario is the same.
