TurboGears itself doesn't usually get in the way with encoding/decoding, I guess some encoding/decoding is happening when reading outputs for HG repositories.
The system encoding ( locale.getpreferredencoding ) frequently dictates what should happen when crossing the boundary between bytes/strings, as by default apache (when started from init scripts) sets locale to "C" ( as documented at http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/configuration-directives/WSGIDaemonProcess.html ) my guess is that strings read from hg might be encoded/decoded with that locale resulting in some characters being impossible to decode. I guess that the only "special" thing that gearbox is doing is just not messing with the locale. There was an article about this issue from Graham Dumpleton himself which I guess can be helpful -> http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2014/09/setting-lang-and-lcall-when-using.html If my guess that the improper decoding/encoding is happening at "hg layer" I'm not sure it's something where TG can intervene.
