I'm forwarding this from the CMF list as I'm stumped. I worked my way up the debug stack but couldn't find what was causing one Zope instance to decode to unicode and the other to leave content as utf-8 (or maybe it's the other way round?). Both instances on the same machine. Any ideas?

No. I guess I'll have to look more closely at the wigdets data. As I said a different site on the same machine doesn't exhibit these problems so I should have a point of comparison.
Definitely weird. From site 1: (Pdb) t = self.widgets['town'] (Pdb) t._getFormInput() u'D\xfcsseldorf' as expected but from site 2: (Pdb) t = self.widgets['town'] (Pdb) t._getFormInput() 'D\xc3\xbcsseldorf' Note the similarity of the field name as one of these forms started out as a copy of the other. Need to check what is causing this. I think I might have set a default encoding for Zope to UTF8 ostensibly to reduce IE / Safari errors. Oh, isn't this fun!
