Thanks for the link! Indeed I can insert new text now with accented
characters. However I have to replace an existing text, and then this
trick doesn't work. I guess I'll have to wait for the 'clean
implementation'.
If you wonder why I need to replace a text, I'm trying to make some sort
of mail merge script. So I have to replace a string like {name} with a
real-life name (with possibly accented characters in it).
