I don't quite get your description of the problem. It seems self contradictory. I mean this part:
*'So, "`A" (coded as "\xC3\x80") will prevent the displaying of any string. Nevertheless, if I just try to display "Some text plus À and some text more" it will work.'* So, what exactly does not work then? Are you using ascii functions for UTF-8 at some point? I think we need to see your code to understand the issue.
