- make sure that your pages sent out by the web container really contain
  UTF-8 as charset encoding (check with wget)
- make sure that in the header there is no ISO-8859-1 embedded
- Your browser must support UTF-8 (current Mozilla and IE do)
- If you use postgres, don't create your database with SQL_ASCII or LATIN1
  as encoding

I've been through this before and yes, it can be hell. :-) Turbine itself 
runs fine on UTF-8, though. 

What kind of container are you using? Plain Tomcat (then it's best to use 
Tomcat5) or Tomcat + Apache? Or something else?

        Regards
                Henning
