General rules i've used in the past: 1) obv make sure your stash data is utf8, not bytes (which it looks like you have) 2) stick a BOM in the .tt file That seemed to do it for me. There is an ENCODING config var but i never had much luck with it doing anything. As for why it changes from request to request: absolutely no clue on that one. One possible thing to try is to disable any caching that TT is doing and see if its a weird TT/apache clash. -ash
