Hmm, you may check out http://collector.zope.org/Zope/517 but it could be the same difficulties as we experienced earlier. The problem here was that Zope thought it was returning UTF-8, while it was really returning ISO-8859-1. This was due to the <dtml-var "u''"> statement not having the desired effect. <dtml-var "u' '"> (notice the space) seemed to work brilliantly. > So how are these Unicode changes supposed to work?

UTF-8 is simply a transport format, although it may be used for storage to save space. There is lots of software that supports UTF-8 today. This is the future. > While I'm quite sure that this will help Zope in the Asiatic region, it > seems quite inconvienent for isolatin1 world :( This will be a win in Europe as well, especially for multilingual sites. IIRC there are 15 variants of ISO-8859-1. I18N is *very* important, and Unicode is an essential ingredient.
